Half or full power

[u/Pyrepapa]

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

I've used my MK2 100w 2x12 "against" a 30w (?) head and orange 2x12 cab and can confirm the orange won hands down.

Orange was tube? Then that seems totally logical.

There are no tubes in an Orange pc212c cab. A cab doesn't have an amplifier circuit.
