Weird situation with amps and the PA (probably not weird at all)

Absolutely. I thoroughly enjoyed the gig regardless! Sounds like I don't need to upgrade my amp. But that doesn't mean I can't window-shop though, right?

If you want an amp to suit most venues, something that is at least 30w and preferably with 2x12. A 100w is not necessarily over-kill, but certainly as heavy as some speaker cabinets!

Aye he’s a tit
if there want enough head room you could turn the amp down and the mic up

Exactly that. He seems to be confusing the requirement for the amp to be able to fill the room on its own and sound good, with the requirement for it to sound good at a volume that doesn't interfere with the mix because the PA is doing most of the work. It may well not be able to do the former, but it can certainly do the latter.

Howdy, Stranger!
