The model I used was the 100W Pittbull Ultra-Lead model, which is much more powerful. The 50W is good though and should cut through fine, but the key with that amp is turning the mids up pretty high. They sound terrible scooped. Also active pickups definitely hinder some of the definition of the amp. The best thing other than the pickups would be to ensure its EQ'd properly (usually I'd set mine with lows at about 4, mids at 7, highs at 5, to boost the front end of the amp with something like an MXR GT-OD or Ibanez Tube Screamer to tightens things up, and to ensure you have high quality tubes in there. I recommend JJ tubes.
still though, its a 100W amp vs a 50W amp, so it isnt exactly a fair fight.
