I see what you mean. Maybe your amps are not good enough. I have heard some high wattage amps can give you a really good tone at a low volume as well as when you have it at a high volume. E.g the 5150 II. Thats why i'm thinking of getting one because i will hopefully be able to have it at a lower volume and still get the nice tone. I know my friend was saying about getting a lower wattage amp and running it though a P.A system. I have read in a previous post about really famous bands running lower wattage amps through a P.A. I guess its a personal opinion. Some high wattage amps you will never get that great tone at low volume.
