Maybe I haven't tweaked its possibilities on the other hand.
Your power amp and cab are very good and all you need is a great preamp to go with them. If I was you, I'd try the Marshall jmp-1 or the Randall MTS series - the RM4 frame can hold up to 4 different preamp modules at the same time and there's a huge variety of different modules available. I have both, the Marshall and Randall, and absolutely love them.
