Well...

If you had to live like me, in a wall-to-wall apartment with non-tolerant neighbors;

I'm sure you'd appreciate having some power amp breakup/compression on less-than-stage levels

I managed a 3 story apartment building for 13 years & could play as i please IE full stack. My wife & I have been in our house now for 7 yrs and the dude next door has caused me grief for the last 2.5 yrs or so but i just spoke to the property owner & found out they lost their jobs & will be moving which is okay for the short term but we could get someone worse than the last one. My wife & I are looking for a new house for next spring so for now everything is cool. Id rather wait 3 weeks for the opportunity to play a 100 watt Marshall at volume than to play a 1 watt amp everyday. But i can play at low volume too so its not a deal breaker.

Sounds like its missing 80 watts.

For the life of me i don't understand the appeal of the 1w/5w/10w ect thing.

Guess i just grew up in the golden age of amps.

Sounds great, tasty playing. Well done, sir.

[Erlend_G]

Yeah...

I just cranked my Blackstar 20 watter, and it's not really loud enough :/...

I wish I had saved the money to buy the 40 watt, or even a 100 watt model.

Playing silently in a livingroom with acoustic guitars, is one thing-

but really getting loud and cranked, is another...

Oh well. I can only play loud when my neighbors aren't home-
but 20 watts of (non treble-piercing) watts, aren't that loud. I'm sure I couldn't be heard over a drummer.

Thank lord it sounds great at quiet volumes aswell. .
