Can't blame you. I don't expect lower watters to keep up with the band, more so with a loud drummer. Anyway, other guitarist in the band I'm in currently plays DSL100H (when he doesn't want to setup his rack), sounds big and I can hear him over my JCM2000 DSL. EQing is the key but cabs and speakers have a huge influence how you will sound in live setting.
I had a VM2266, sounds perfect for classic rock/hard rock applications. Just didn't have enough gain even when boosted (IMO). JCM800 is probably my next amp. If wasn't for $1,200.00 used price tag, I will snatch one up.
