I have a peavey 60/60 but it wasnt very loud, and then it died on me, so im unsure on what I need for my band rehersals. I dont want overkill but im on limited fundage for now so im wondering if a engl 620 - engl 920/50 will produce the volume I need through a 4x12. I could buy a blue voodoo 60 but I havnt played one of these and a guy I asked said it probably wouldnt cut it for metal so at the moment im in a bind, any help appreciated! thanks.

Yea those engl's will do fine. My mesa 20/20 stereo 1u poweramp has enough power to easily be heard over drums with one 4x12.

ah cool man thanks, so im guessing the peavey must not have been biased properly when I got it hense why it was so quiet?

you probably had really old tubes, or maybe even a couple blown tubes.

well I retubed it abit after I got it and it was still pretty quiet although I didnt bias it or anything. But thanks for the help!

Maybe a bit dumb, but couldn't it be that you didn't have enough outgoing volume from the preamp? I can't imagine it not being loud enough

I would have that 60/60 worked on. Those things can definitely do what you want them to, its just that tube amps are like cars. They need fixing every now and then.

when using my 60/60 I have NO trouble being heard especially during gigs.
