MG10G : An okey solution for a small room , but not much else.

I recently got back into the electric guitar after years of hiatus. Used to have a 15 Watt Line 6 Spider that had all the goodies a guitarist would ever need. Bass Mid and Treble , dedicated channels for soft or hard distortion and effects of all kinds.

Obviously I knew this amp would be simple and minimalistic , and indeed , for the purposes of just studying , the clean channel is absolutely fine. The distortion channel however is not. Gain cranked all the way up and it barely qualifies for distortion. More like overdrive. I am also not a fan of the Contour knob at all. Supposedly it changes the overall tone by manipulating the Mids , whether that's true or not , all I know is that just one knob is not enough to get my sound where I want it.
