yea, listen to eden, someone who actually owns a similar amp to yours.
I was hoping someone woulds speak up with some suggestions. It's hard to make suggestions to a new OP who plays at home and may or may not have neighbors nearby...
Electric guitars often sound best at volume levels that could get you expelled from your apartment or reported to the guitar police.
But it seems that you're on the right track to getting better tones, whether you buy a different amp or use the one you have. You have a lot of choices to make, and I don't t think you need be in a hurry to make them. I'd suggest you play your new guitar and work with the amp you have for as long as you can... just to get to know them and what they can do together.
Keep a small notebook if this makes sense. Write down your settings... those on the guitar and those on the amp. evaluate. Then up the volume and evaluate that. Then go back and only change the tone control, and evaluate that. Write down what you feel,
and then try the same thing again another day. compare.
yer on yer way to an obsession, can you tell? but it's the quest for tone. We're all on it. the reward when you get it right is to hear something that sounds good. there's no substitute for that. write it down in yer notebook, and you can do it again.
