VR amp upgrade

[JHL]

Hi Trolls!
I have been cutting happily in past month after i solve the set up problem,thanks a lot of people's help so much!
i start get some problem,i can get some good sound on dance,eletronic music and those music with heavey bass ,loud and clear. but when i cut music with distortion guitar,i cant cut a loud volume with clear high frequency, high frequency loss a lot and easy distortion on vocal and guitar

I am thinking about maybe change my amp can improve this problem?my amp is qsc 700(350 watts per channel at 2 ohms,270 watts per channel at 4 ohms,170watts per channel at 8 ohms),i need to put it very high(about 2 o'clock) to get a standard volume.

Should i change the amp to the high power one?like 2x500 watts amp?could i get a clear high frequency when i change the amp?
any help is apperciate!

I would check your gain staging throughout the whole chain first.
I don't have trouble with this amp myself, but I don't cut extremely loud either (0dB ref +4 dbu)

maybe a compressor is an answer

Thanks for your reply,Tragwag.but i remember you are using Qsc Gx500,that one is 2x500W?more power than qsc mx700?

maybe a compressor is an answer

thanks your reply.fredbissnette .compressor can help with clear high frequency?

a compressor after the source would tame any big peaks and if you want to add some air to the top then add an eq with some extra hi end after the compressor or just play with it until you get what you want.

cheers

I just looked and the GX5 is indeed 500 watts per channel at 8 ohms.
the Samson I use is 300 watts per channel, and I keep it a little higher output wise, but haven't had issues
