That is strange. Mine has great output but by the time the clip lights even flicker, I'm pushing the limits of excursion (or at least I think I am) because it starts sounding a bit distorted. I can see where a larger and/or better amp might provide a bit better attack or transient response, although the EP doesn't seem to be any slouch for that either.
Did you check out the BFD? If so, what didn't you like about it? On the two units you mentioned, I would enjoy the ability of reaching up and twising a good old fashoined knob. On the other hand, the BFD has so many more channels, plus you can save settings...
