The word I don’t agree with is “support”
No. At a wedding, the lead vocalist won’t get the tipsy guests bums wiggling. They won’t get the feet tapping. They won’t get the air guitarists widdling their fingers to their favourite solos.
A band is a unit that delivers a sound. The lead vocalist may well be putting the lyrics out there, but on their own they are a completely different proposition.
The singer is the most important element of most bands.

I’d draw out a lot more examples but it’s late and meh.
Ok, I'll roll with it. Let's assume that bands most well-known track is playing. What do people singalong with?

Deep Purple. Smoke on the wataaaah. What’s most important?
Fleetwood Mac. The Chain. What’s most important.
Coldpay (ffs). Clocks. What’s most important?
Answer is of course, every bit of the band.
@Travisthedog I also have an Egnater Rebel 30 and the Watt control isn't actually an attenuator, it's more of an effect on the headroom of the amp. So, for example, if you want the drive channel to break up sooner and give you more compression, you would wind the Watt control down to 1.
I was having the same issue as you where the amp was too loud for rehearsals and small gigs so what I did was built a volume control that plugs into the effects loop (similar to what @p90fool suggested re using a volume pedal) and now I can set the two channels to a reasonable level, and then wind up this fake Master volume control.
I got the idea from this video by Brian Wampler
A feature that a lot of people don't seem to talk about on these Rebel amps is how good the DI output on the back is. It's my go to for recording and putting my amp through the PA and very easy for a soundperson to control. The added benefit to this is that you can then have your amp directed at you acting as a monitor rather than facing forward and you don't have to have another microphone stand on stage.
The answer of course is to use amp gain because it is at least 8 times better anyway.
