Also that is the beuty of the little 5 and 10 watt amps. you can crank them to 11 and the neighbors don't complain

I feel bad for the people who don't have the everyday opportunity to dime their stacks out. The way I normally play in the house is around 5-7. When me and my pals get together I actually wear ear plugs.

Gotta love loud tube half stacks.

The beauty of a 100w fullstack is that when you crank them to 11 the neighbours can complain all they want and you still won't hear them...

RE: little five and ten watt amps.
I am a great believer in the sonic qualitites of smaller wattage amps.
But dont kid yourselves.....they sound nothing like a big wattage amp like a jcm or a tsl.
Sure they sound big, sure they sound dirty, sure they sound good - but there is just no substitute for the texture of a cranked el34 marshall sound.

So you're saying 6L6s won't roar? I beg to differ sir. :D

I remember last friday when I had to crank my deluxe because the drummer was loud, and the amp just went "ROCK". the bassist turned around and smiled.

Get a 2x12 or 4x12 seriously! Then get an attenuator and save money for new power tubes every 6 months lol.

The best part of jamming with a band is when you get to crank up your amp once the drummer starts playing, then you remember why you bought it in the first place!

There's that point when you're just moving so much air around it just works and you can hold onto notes with such ease that you think you're cheating.
You just can't do that with a small amp.
Trust me. My little mesa express sounds ok in 5w mode, but it's better at full wap, and even then it's not as good as my 60w Ashdown with the power tubes a cookin
