Just Killing Time
Well ..... you'll have to do what your finances will allow and I've already said, and I'll say it again, you ought to be able to get a good sound out of that rig.
I just do think a good tube amp would do better.
First thing I'd want to know before suggesting amps is what kind of music will you be playing and what size venues and what size band?
Most good 50 watt tube amps would easily keep up with that 150 watt SS amp. There's lots of reasons, and opinions, on why that is; but the important fact here is that they do. Tubed amps just have a much higher perceived volume than SS amps.
But really, without knowing more about what you're gonna be doing I wouldn't want to suggest anything. I could easily steer you wrong.
And if finances are tough right now, well really ...... most of the good stuff costs. It might be something you'll just have to make a future goal and go with what you have. That ME50 is a decent multifx ...... I've heard guys get a decent sound out of that alone.
Music style is somewhat like this: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=289225
Singer, bassist, drummer, 2 rhythm/lead guitarists
And the venues are usually medium sized pubs (if that gives you any kind
of rough idea)
Cheers,
Phil
