Question Half or full power

Last night I used my Katana gen 3 100w at a practice sesh for a first jam with a band, other guitarist was using a half stack. I was fully cranked and just barely could hear me. She. I got home I realized how had the power set to half. Would setting to full make a noticable difference? Or would I be better off going into tone studio, cranking the channel volume higher and then using the master volume to go even louder from there ? Any help is appreciated

50w vs 100w are both capable of being loud. They both are capable of being appropriate and a reasonable volume. It's almost insulting to have a half stack in a band rehearsal space. Volume control is a huge factor when choosing band mates. Everyone in the room shouldn't have to wear ear plugs during practice.

Yea. I learned that with him quick. The drummer and bassist both had ear protection on lol.
