People listen with their eyes. If they see an amp the to their eyes looks shitty they with think it sounds shitty
Yup. It's a small amp, so it can't sound loud. I'd sometimes bring the cab but not actually plug it in. I'd just have it up on the stage near the back where it could be seen.
Really a 2x12 should be plenty of amp for most situations
With BDE, depending on the venue, we come rolling in with full stacks. However, the ones in the back are often not even plugged into anything. They get turned on when we're both outside and have a lot of area to saturate with sound. A lot of the time, it's just for looks. We bring a pair of 'em in at my favorite venue and put them in the back - one on each side of the projector's screen. If we actually turned them on (and it's a large venue), we'd blow the windows out of the joint as soon as they closed the doors.
