Re: The single loudest amp ever???
F*ck that. Ya'll com'on over to my house and we'll set 'er up in my basement.
....Man, to hit the first G power chord on that thing....
We'll all drink some beers and take bets on who can stand there the longest without covering their ears.
When the cops show up we'll be all nice and let them in, and then we'll pelt them with the whole South Of Heaven album.
If that's a guitar amp, could you imagine what the bass player will need :eek5:

Re: The single loudest amp ever???
The loudest amp I ever played through was a 320 watt Ampeg SVT...totally, useless! The second loudest amp I ever played through was a 200 watt Marshall stack...totally useless too! The reason I say totally useless is that even a 40 watt amp is usually to loud for most gigs. Guitarists buy a big amp, and then can't use it because it's to loud for the types of gigs 99% of us play. Two 20 watt amps are what I prefer. A pair of Deluxes Reverbs...a pair of tweed Deluxes...something like that is way, WAY MORE versatile than an amp to big for 99% of your gigs. Lew
