For the record, I am one of those people that John refers to. So far (only a few days), my experience with the Pignose G60VR is simply fantastic. Although I have yet to test it out at a real venue, based on what I can hear here in my basement with background accompaniment from my 300 watt stereo going full blast, this Pignose will have no difficulty making itself clearly heard in most any setting.
As for service from John and Coast to Coast Music, all I can say is "well done"! I ordered the Pignose G60VR late Sunday evening and it was waiting for me Tuesday evening. All for under $400.00 (the price of the amp is reasonable for a relatively compact amp with this much punch and power, I think)! I am not affiliated with Coast to Coast Music and don't benefit monitarily in any way from writing these comments, but you can be sure that I am now a repeat customer!
Of course, I know there are other amps out there, some of them grand ole vintage types, that will also give results that you are looking for, so be sure to check them out, too, before making a decision. But I think my decision to step up from the Peavey Classic 30 (which is a fairly decent amp, I think) to the G60VR was a very good one!
Best of luck in your search.
