More amp volume

No, but you can maximize what you have. Tilt your amp at your ears so you get the mids and highs where you can hear them. Put the amp against a wall (or better yet, in a corner) to make the low end sound waves couple (twice the power).

Using these two methods, I've been fine with a 175W, 12-inch combo, playing with a drummer and a marshall half-stack. For shows, the PA does the work, while the amp is my stage monitor.
