  • In this video, out of sheer boredom, I decided to see what my 1974 Marshall MKII sounded like on 10, so I brought it outside on my deck. Hoping the neighbors wouldn't call the cops or the fire department, my friend "The Skipper" and I decided to lug this entire stack outside. He drove over 1/2 a mile away and recorded video to see if he could hear the stack from that distance? Why you ask? Well not just out of pure boredom and morbid curiosity, but for science!

    I once got the opportunity to play through a dimed Hiwatt DR103 stack. I had gun range headphones on, with foam inserts (something like 30-40 dB of perceived noise reduction), and it was still shockingly loud. I hit an open E chord standing right in front of the speakers, and there was so much air moving that it felt like you could lean back against the sound and it would hold your body up. Crazy experience.

    We rolled up, at 5am into the loading dock of the school, and used the outlet on the building for power…three huge heads…..on one 20 amp circuit……… behind all those sleeping people.
    After many beers, and many dares.
    And played the first 30 seconds of “train kept a rollin”.
    I’m sure at the time I would have had my yellow SG.
    Thomas would have had a bassman, a 2-15. And a Fender mustang.
    Doug had a univox bass, an ampeg head, and a 4-12 (bass) cabinet.
    We had no drummer.
    Packed
    Every thing, in about 2 minutes, under a tarp, on Doug’s blue Ford F-150 pickup truck,
