      I easily foresee another trip in my very near future within hours actually, and there's a 99% chance I will listen to it again while tripping.

Even if his amp was the highest rating you can get for an amp that size, which could be anywhere from 15W to probably 100W, it's not even going to be as loud as Pink Floyd was when they played on the barge in Venice in 1989 (60db), and the only damage there was from the *crowd, not the band...*
