Re: Who Still Uses A 100W Amplifer?
If you need real clean power with headroom, big amps are the only thing that works. For real punch, play light and when you dig in and spank a chord - the whole crowd will feel it. Little amps just don't move the air.
I have a jazz client who alternates between his Hiwatt or Ampeg heads and a cab loaded with 4 JBL or Altec speakers. He hates moving the rig, but it fills the room with nary a grunt of distortion. His tone is amazing.
If he plays the occasional rock gig, he can mow 'em down with the best of the Marshalls.
