Anti-attenuator?

[fuzzyratfarts]

I have fallen in love with the tone of the Lucky 7, the 7 watt Fuchs amp...Is there any device that keeps sound cleaner at higher volumes?

Set the master volume to the level of poweramp saturation that you want and then mike the speaker in a live situation. You could also run the speaker output into a load box like a hotplate then run the line out from the load box to a high headroom poweramp. Then adjust the volume through the poweramp. In both cases you would be able to dial in the amount of power amp overdrive with the amp then raise the entire volume to taste.

A more effecient speaker might help a bit.

Also more speakers = more volume since they will push more air. A 7 watt tube amp into a 2x12 or 4x12 cabinet would probably be very loud.

Another tip would be to buy a higher wattage amp...

Yeah, it's called an amplifier.

Seriously, about all you can do is add/replace speakers unless you were to take an output from the Fuchs from the FX send and run it into another more powerful amp.
