Distortion from Amp or Pedal... NOW A WHICH HEAD THREAD?

New question in this thread starting on page 6, date 7-18-2019

All opinions are welcome. Please share any similar experiences and solutions.

I recently purchased a very inexpensive head and cabinet second hand and can't stand the sound of the distortion, even with an OD pedal.

Should I buy an expensive head that has good distortion or a distortion pedal?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone for the info. I ended up following your advice and picking up a used Krank cab for $369. From the research I did it has 4 x 12" Texas Heat speakers (600 watts).

Plugged it in and wasn't too impressed with the volume at .75. Then turned it up to 3 and it sounds great. I'm really happy with it and now I (can hear and) like my 6505+.

Thanks again for all of the advice on the head, cab, heart and my father's face...

Stay tuned for more rookie questions in follow on threads.

Have a great weekend!
