bedroom overkill?

Re: bedroom overkill?

For good tone at true bedroom volumes takes a modeling amp, IMO. There are a bunch of decent modeling combo's you can get in your price range. A POD, V-amp or even a Boss GT6 (which I own) are great alternatives. I love my GT6 thru headphones. Great tones and I can crank the headphones as loud as I want, while the wife watches TV in the same room. It also sounds really good thru my small ss amp, turned way down.

Take a listen to my soundclips. All of my complete songs, Plush, Heavens Door, ect were recorded with the GT-6. That's just what it sounds like thru the headphones.

You CAN get good tones at low levels if you have a tube amp with a great master volume.

I used to play a 100 watt DSL in my bedroom. I just stuck an ernie ball volume pedal in the effects loop, and kept the amp at my usual settings. Doesn't sound as great as when it is fully cranked, but it sounded pretty damn good.

Now I am playing a bogner ecstasy and in addition to a great master volume, it also allows me to cut down the power considerably. I am able to get some really good tones even at lower volumes with it.

I'd 2nd the G-Flex/Vox Valvetronics set-up.....should sound great at low or cranked volumed or thru headphones!
