#DoesAmpWattageMatter #RobChapman #AndertonsTV
Id love to se a low output pickup with lots of amp gain vs high output pickup (not active) with less amp gain!! 💁🏻♀️
yeah i never thought about that
yes
me too...
Pretty silly. I can tell you that you can run low output pickups, any kind on a high gain amp and still get high gain tones. Runa hot p8ckup on. a low gain amp will still get you low gain. Youre not going to get a metal tone by running the highest output pickups into a jcm 900 or a fender twin reverb. You will however get a metal tone with single coil vintage output pickup into a marshall jvm.
@@utecastronoova863 Character/texture of the gain will be different. While what you say is largely correct, it IS possible to hit the front end of a low gain amp with a pickup + clean boost (to simulate an outrageously hot pickup) to get some pretty nasty tone. It'd be interesting to see in a shootout, don't you think?
I'm probably not telling you anything you don't already know, but here goes...The numbers on the fronts of the amps are fairly arbitrary. They aren't really telling you much about the actual resistance at each "notch". You'd need to open it up and put a meter on each pot for that. But I think rather than setting the two amps to the same settings, a better exercise would be to set the 100W where it sounds balls, then come back and try to get the 20W to match it, if not in the room, at least in the mic, and then talk about the different settings you had to set them to and why. Anyway, a fun one as always. Thanks for the vid!
yep, those numbers are mostly an average wattage if you will, dsl20 for instance says that the range is 11-30W.
Somebody give the video editor a pay rise, great stuff as usual.
while I do like it, I found that this video was just too much
Caio Regal yeah I think he got a bit carried away on this video but it’s very entertaining most of the time.
Are you the editor aiming for a pay rise? :P
@John Smith Haha unfortunately not, I have trouble editing my own video’s :-)
@@MarkPritchardGuitar ;-)
Next time use a decibel meter so we can get a better idea of the volumes you guys hear.
Definitely, have one out at all times like on TPS!
Let's Just Say, if it was loud for Rob then I'm pretty sure it was near 100dB at least...
Timo Roosendaal I play a 50 watt Marshall JVM and with my loudest drummer I can out play him at 3 master volume, 7 channel.
I own the V40 and I can tell you with the master at 3 o'clock, like they dimed it in the video, it's one of the loudest things you'll ever hear.
Playing in a room and sitting right next to the speaker, I wouldn't dare to play more than a few notes on that volume.
Probably something like 110
Every time you pulled out the Strat I wanted to hear it through the Marshalls!
And what we've learned is that ear-plugs are a good idea.
Yep ... glad to see Rob trying to protect his hearing but proper earplugs would provide better protection.
I can only imagine the ear damage Lee must have.
Jack Robb I'm wondering if it's because Lee is not a gigging musician so he doesn't get exposed to loud noises for a long time. Short bursts won't give him any long-term problems but Rob is more at risk.
What??
@@Orion28296 Pardon ???
this video is the perfect way to illustrate head room. It's hard to describe what more head room sounds like but I think it's this.
I love that Lee jumped in and started playing, I wish he would do the playing in the videos more often along with rob
I love that lees go pro has a voice
Interesting and informative. What I most learned though is that PRS sounds wonderful!
Have to say that those Victory's sound just awesome. And I never thought I'd see the day when it was too loud for Rob!
The video editing humor was quite entertaining.
The sound of the humbuckers thru either dimed Victory amp was glorious! I'm surprised that Rob hasn't started wearing ear plugs for these. He is regularly putting his fingers in his ears.
Has he ever done it before this video? I've seem some hundreds of Andertons videos and I can't remember a single time before this. Maybe it's his jetlag and tiredness?
As someone who started with a 15W practice amp, then moved up to a Peavey Bandit, then a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, a Twin and finally a Mesa Mark V, I can say without a doubt, the best tone is ~100W tube amp. And particularly a 100W tube amp through a 4x12 cabinet (which I don't have because of portability). A full stack. It's not even a question. But there are other considerations. If the money, volume or weight is too much for you, by all means get what fits you. I have a 2x12 cabinet for that reason. But the facts are the facts.
You’re confusing opinion for fact
The speaker wattage handling is a big factor too. Running a low wattage amp into high-headroom speakers takes speaker breakup out of the equation and can sound kind of sterile.
We know Rob is the better than average player, but would there be any sonic difference if a looper were used switching between A & B..at least from the listener perspective?
TP91711 that would be more scientific.
If you do that you cut out the interaction between the loudspeaker and the guitar.
@@ResoBridge ????
@@boggeshzahim3713 In a 'live' situation the sound pressure waves from the loudspeaker vibrate the body of the guitar, that vibrates the strings, the pickups pickup the string vibration, the pickup signal drives the amp input and the amp drives the loudspeaker. And so on... At high enough loop gain you will get sustained feedback - a note can be held forever (well a long time). At lower loop gains (even relatively low volumes) you still get a more responsive feel. With a good compressor or even some fuzz or overdrive pedals you can easily get enough loop gain for 'infinite' sustain even at low volumes.
The fingers in the ears edit...genius!
Clean tones make Rob's brain swell. The man beast NEEDS gain. Get dem gains Rob!
Nathan Hall seriously 😂🤘
Would have liked to hear the DSLs on the classic gain channel. That's where they go for the JCM800 vibe. It's my favourite way to use these amps.
wich model/wattage do you suggest?
@@napomania I personally have a DSL1CR with Genalex Gold Lion tubes. I never use the Ultra Gain channel, as I personally find the tones on that channel to be pretty much unusable. The Classic Gain channel, however, is lovely.
It's worth noting that the DSL1 (both combo and head) do _not_ feature master volume on the Classic Gain channel. That means that changing gain characteristics on that channel also changes the volume. It's also worth noting that the tone of the amp changes whether you're operating at 0.1 Watts vs 1 Watt. It's not a massive difference, but the amp does sound better at its normal 1 Watt operation setting. It's quite apparent that the amp uses the tubes differently on the different power settings.
I'm an apartment dweller, so I would only use the DSL1 at home. At 0.1 Watts with mine dimed at home, I literally can only play before 6 p.m. to avoid complaints. I occasionally let it rip at 1 Watt, but for less than a minute and _only_ on rare occasions.
If you go for a higher DSL power rating, note that all the other models are master volume designs. I think it's also worth mentioning that the wee DSL1CR combo did find its voice quite nicely after a few months of pounding. The 8" Celestion Eight 15 takes a bit of time to break in, but sounds quite good once it does. IMO, YMMV and all that.
Pete is not a fan of small cabs and the videos reflect that. However, the videos also don't have the possibility of time to break in. I don't have any recordings, but I can say that over time I have noticed a significant improvement in tone. My DSL1CR is not the amp today that I bought two years ago. It is much better now.
Full disclaimer: I found the Marshall-supplied tubes to be flubby. A set of Genalex Gold Lion tubes tightened up the bottom end nicely and added sparkle to the top end. In 2022, that would also be quite an additional cost given the situation around tube availability. As such, I strongly recommend playing one of these amps prior to purchase.
You guys should put a decibel meter onscreen during your whole videos so we can see how loud things are at different times
2 years later and they still dont do this.. quite sad
@@AmperahGaming 5 years later and they DO.
My 100w Peavey is a beast and virtually unusable at home. On stage, well, it doesn't need mic'ing up, even bigger outside gigs! Most gigs I never get past 4 or 5 on volume! Why 100w? Clean tones! Headroom is immense!
One of the best videos you've ever made!!! Thank you!!!
"God Damnit, back on the table again!" 😂😂😂
I have this really bad habit when watching Andertons of pausing the video to make a comment on something that made me laugh, or a tone, etc, because there is so much great content in every video that if I wait until the end to recap, I can't remember what all happened where and I end up rewatching. 😂😂😂
Clicking play on the video again
Love Pete's PRS!
Love all the production on ALL these videos!!
a humble request, in the future, for those of us who put you guys on to listen while driving, if you could say which amp or head you’re talking about instead of pointing and saying “this one” or “that one” that’d be super helpful
How do you watch a video while driving? Never mind.........
That 140 sounded fantastic when you gunned it. Good grief!
Poor little Gopro. Rob's tiredness rubbed off on the little guy.
I like writing captions too.
You will never need a 100 watt tube amp. Way too much for a small club and if you were playing a larger venue you would mic the amp anyway. 😎 love the videos.
It’s about compression and not volume really. My 15 watt tube amps are just as loud at my 30/40 watt amps. When I compare the a 100 watt twin, the twin is just wayyyy more spatial (not necessarily a good thing). Just a point to be made. Personally I play in a lot of larger ensembles so I want something smaller that will just fill the right frequencies but if I’m in a trio I’d want something with lots of headroom and space
Trust In Me was Ka the python, not Shere Khan the tiger. Great video and really felt I learned about how the wattage is used in the different amps. All the best.
I've found 100w tube amps mainly excel for getting *real* badass sounds with a fuzz pedal.
I used to gig with an old Carlsbro 50 Top from the 70's. 4 knobs. We were so loud at a pub that the pub 1/4 mile away got a noise complaint. We weren't asked back.
30 watt is enough to gig with but if you want alot of headroom you might wanna get a 100watt but the volume should be almost the same.
Set the controls for the heart of the sun......
You NEED A DB METER!!!
Yeah, that's what folks like Ola Englund do. Of course Ola does it to also see how much he's pissing off the neighbors LOL.
I think that the ola one and the that pedal show one Are sold by thomann
I liked the video edit.
Yes
The Marshall-Victory Drinking Game: Drink every time they say "Watt"!
Clean: give me headroom
'Crunchy clean': decapitate me and stuff me in a too small box
Clear and punchy high gain: MOAR HEADROOM
Fuzzed out bloated monster levels of gain: Yeah, you can take that head off again.
Something I have experienced, though, is a tube/valve amp really needs a certain amount of volume to actually make a good sound. Best I can describe it is like trying to sing through a straw when the volume is too low. Turning it up lets it breathe a bit more, so the sound is a little more full. Maybe a lower power amp would let you get past that stage on the volume knob without being too loud to use at home.
hawkeye2816 imma little late but there are these “things” called a power break or atenuator, idk something like that. It puts the tubes at the desired power but only lets some of the power go to your desired speaker or cabinet
Our sesquipedalian monkey lord is incorrect, the snake in the Jungle Book was called Kaa, Shere Khan was the tiger. Monkey Lord bragging rights revoked!
Mr. Rob Know it all didn't know it all! 😄
Sesquipedalian? Congratulations you have found a word I haven't encountered before. I shall have to resort to Google.
I've owned and played lots of high and low wattage amps. Both sound and feel different. It depends what you want. Ideally, trying each to find what you want is the best thing to do. :)
My first amp was a 1970 Twin in which I replaced the speakers (blown) with JBL D-120s. It was a terrible amp for me. It was unspeakably loud and very difficult to get my desired tone (Clapton, Bloomfield) at club volumes. I would have been much better served with a Vibrolux. (Back in 1970, there weren't even 1% of the amp choices there are now.) IMO, you have to work the tubes to the point where you're getting the maximum number of electrons moving across the vacuum without it getting too distorted. That maximizes clean sustain - my holy grail.
Hello! Great video as usual!
I would love to see a video about instrument cables. I see some of my favourite, famous guitarists using high end cables like sinasoid and some of them using other cables like dimarzio or ernie ball. Same thing for some of my favourite lesser known, indie artists and am genuinely curious as to the difference it makes in sound, reliability etc.
Cheers!
I dont think there is a discernible difference between the cables but id love that video nonetheless
Very cool, guys. Cool comparisons here.
Loved the victory sections. Love those amps.
Cheers
At this point 22 Watts seems to be the max needed for the gigs that my band does. If the guitarist is using a Fender Princeton Reverb, and the drummer has a Jazz Kit, I, who am playing bass in the band, (I am also a guitarist) can bring a 150 Watt Fender Bassman TV 1X12 to the gig. We are mostly playing breweries with very acoustically live rooms, and are not playing Doom Metal.
You guys should do a video trying to get a high gain/expensive sound from cheap pedals and amps (e.g. ID 15 TVP)
@Swabby Shreds I'd like to see them try and fix that with a low pedal budget though. It would be useful to someone, such as myself, with a budget comparable to a twig.
That's interesting and not likely due to a fact that *this is a commercial* for a music store
@@fartymctits5701 We can only dream....
I think you should get a decibel meter like the That Pedal Show have! Would be very good for videos where you talk about volume like this
Marshall DSL20HR for the win!
6l6 is some very clear glass. great for old cb/ham amplifiers
I personally went for the 100w DSL over the 20w version because the 100w has a master volume. It’s way easier to play at low volumes and still sound great.
The snake from Jungle Book is named Kaa. Shere Khan is the tiger
I have a 600W amp... Or 400W depending on what Ohmage I hook up. - But it's also a solid-state power amplifier with a tube pre-amp, so it's not the same. - I guess they decided on that much juice to kind of give it the same kind of driving power towards the speakers. - Then again, I usually don't turn it up thát much anyway, but it's available. And I guess it would be a bit more consistent between different levels.
2:44 I think we wouldn't hear five times more volume if it were so (thanks to YT compressing at least), but anyway, a dB-meter would be nice (like D&M have), while mentioning that 100 dB is not five times as loud as 20dB.
Grrrrrrrrrrretings!!!! I didn’t know that Rob is count Dracula!
ON youtube it's almsot impossible to hear any difference at all. This goes for the other amp test in the past as well. It not only compresses video but sound.
People keep talking about compression, but the algorithms are quite efficient. And unless you're using very high end gear it's not that noticeable. The fact that you're hearing a mic'd sound opposed to being in the room makes a far greater difference.
You just have to consider how players like Hendrix, Young, Yngwie, Wylde, etc. used their amplifiers. As in basically 100 Watts Marshalls pretty gunned, if not all the way. - They might do quite different music with different styles, the ones I mentioned, but they do have things in common in terms of approach.
In the olden days, where all of the guitar sound at the venue came out of the same speaker cabinet, they didn't always have a choice to not be gunning their amps.
How you are talking about the difference between a 40 and a 100 watt amp is how I feel about the difference between class A and Ab...
A tweed deluxe and a top hat club royale feel fast
40w victory seems to have slightly more bass compared to the 100w which has more clarity
be interesting to see what a decibel meter says in all these vids...
Compression on the feels :D
For what is worth, I think that it heavily depends on the whole amp's design. For example, I loved my 24W Supro amp, I thought it was super loud when I first got it. But then I started playing with guitar players with 100W Marshalls, and my Supro was not even in the conversation.
I then got a 45W Fender Bassbreaker. Now, that is a loud amp! But I actually struggle a lot more with that amp than with the Supro, because it's difficult to make it do a loud and clear clean sound. I constantly feel like I'm missing a ton of headroom. Also, even though it is a Fender based on a Bassman preamp, it is very very gainy. In my opinion, it sounds way more like a Vintage Marshall than either the DSL or Origin amps that the actual Marshall makes. It is also similarly difficult to use because of the need to turn it up to get distortion.
So, I really want to get myself a 100W amp to really get some clean headroom. It's crazy how much I struggle for headroom with a 45W amp!
The general rule is that 10x the power = twice the volume
So 100w is about twice as loud as 10w
That is kinda oversimplifying, and there are other differences (more power = more low end, tighter, more headroom, etc.). Also that is assuming everything else (like speakers, etc.) are the same.
👍 logarithmic for the win
Its funny how people say ‘ turn a marshall up to ten ‘. Its just not true, at full volume theres just far too much of everything including compression. I had a 100Watt jcm800 back in the mid 90’s a full stack ie 2 4x12 cabs one one top of the other. Playing my SG straight in with no pedals there was a sweet spot about 2 oclock on the master volume where it was beautiful, harmonically rich, huge headroom and you felt it in your stomach and created lovely sustain as the cabs made the strings vibrate...........memories........my ears ring constantly now though, be carefull !
Been using a 15 watt Princeton Reverb to gig ever since I bought it in '76...…….. loud enough for small and medium sizes rooms and we mike it in large spaces or outdoors …… Blues Rock and Classic Rock...…. where can you use a 100 watt amp these days?
dave late doom metal
I wonder if hearing the room mic's would be cool I would like to hear them😝😲with the speaker mic's you can tell the difference in sound and tone but I wish I could hear what the thing sound's like in the room🤗🙄😜😯maybe next time
ONE LOVE AND ALOHA🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
first metal riffs that's enough for me gooooone
The Victory V40 is a Sweet sounding thing of beauty.
Thx Guys ...
I love the amp shoot out ...
Well from here it was a little tough picking up the difference s
However the high watt sounds like high watts made for loud .... to carry... sound out ...
The lower watts seam to be more for articulation situations
Les bottle end
Sweeter tone ...
Well on a fly
That what I say
Thx again...JAM Jr
I remember the Orange Tiny Terror video from years ago where you did back to back testing between the low watt and higher watt ones, basically the same conclusion.
Joe Walsh has stated Funk 49 was recorded with a tele & 5 watt Fender Champ.
as was Layla, both Clapton and Duane thru a Champ
I'd love to see a blind amp challenge with wattage, is it high watts or low watts, could do it with small heads like with blackstar or the Joyo Zombie, and then the higher wattage heads :)
Every time Rob says he's tired Lee just straight ignores him and is like suck it up buttercup lmao
Get some rest Rob!
Frank Concepcion thats why hes the owner of Andertons! 😂🤘
Id love to spend a day with rob learning how to solo like that man he's awesome - I get like that too and hate hearing stuff LUL! Cool video !
Awesome video, very interesting indeed.
Use jcm 800s live for head room and not much gain from the out put valve's but if you like your output valve's to distort then the 20w would do with out killing the sound guy and your audience. I play festivals so being 25 to 30 feet away from my rig i much prefer the 100w heads
do the same with a marshall studio vintage head and a 1987x
This would be an interesting one for sure
Less as in 15-30 like the EVH Lunchbox, Victory or Marshall DSL 20's 's because u have to crank the amp. The tubes sound best cranked/ saturated...and u can't crank a 100 watt Marshall or any amp unless you're playing a large venue which few of us do...
Irrelevant because a 100 watt dual rectifier witha 4x12 cab is going to sound way bigger and more bottom end than a mini reto and a 1x12 cab. Youre just not going to get that thump, regardless if the power tubes are getting heated and with modern preamp gain i find the need to get overdriven powertube tones irrelevant.
Even at hom and low volumes my mark v 90 running through a 2x12 sounds bigger, deeper than my mark v 25 watt combo. No contest.
If you like smaller sounds and blues or just want softer tones less is good. It depends on the application but to say a lunchbox amp makes the need for a 100 watt head irrelevant is false. The difference in decibels is not much.. you cranka 50 watt amp and its not half as loud as 100. Its only a few decibels. If you want powertube overdrive at lower volumes you need attenuation .
@@utecastronoova863: I agree with most all u said, especially the decibel part. The Power Brake does wonders. It's hard to read things the same in text these days. I didn't say/ mean it made 100 watt head irrelevant. I have a Marshall JCM 900 SLX, an original Peavey 5150- 2 and yes, the 6L6's have more bottom end than the EL 84's obviously, but I run it through one or two Marshall 4 x 12's and believe it or not there's not that much difference as u would think. Plenty of bottom end with clarity. I hear ya on the larger tubes. The mini Rect. always sounded a bit thin to me. Nothing like a Dual or Triple Rectifier. The Lunchbox through a 4x12 makes it thump way more. The EVH Lunch Box gain is way more than a blues tone though, it's off the chart...Cheers my fellow Rocker...
@@utecastronoova863 The EVH Lunchbox isn't a soft and just blues tone by any stretch. It's a smokin heavy tone. May not be as loud, but run through a Marshall 4x12, it has plenty of bottom end and tons of off the chart gain with clarity...I do like the thump of 6L6's and EL 34's. I hear ya...I just never saw the point of a 100 watt amp in a club. 15-30 watts is plenty...
I’ve found that I never need the 100 watts by myself, and I never need them onstage, but when I get in the practice room with the band I have to turn up to hear myself. When those amps are up around 60-75% volume they start to mush up. Sometimes you want that. Other times you lose that tight attack which is vital in a 5 piece metal band. I loved my Mark V: 25 until I took it to practice my my buddies 5150 half stack. I sold it for a mark IV. It kept up and then some. Wish I could afford to have both though
The only reason to get a larger amp, in my opinion, is if it's coupled with more features. A 1-watt amp can easily gig nowadays, you'll just be running it into a desk mixer and have everything come out of the PA - but quite often, you are still sacrificing a lot of features the smaller you go.
A 1-watt amp going through a PA is not going to sound nearly as good as a 100 watt amp at a loud stage volume.
If a 20 watt Amp on full gives a 30 db noise level at 1 metre to get TWICE that level i.e 60db at 1 metre you will need 200 watts !!
or put simply to get twice as loud you need 10 times the wattage. However on valve amps you will get ambient PEAK outputs of approx 4 times the stated wattage which is an average called RMS This is why you get better dynamics from valve amps that respond to your playing style and give you more "feel" . Usually to get a sweet tone you need to crank your amp up full and then turn your guitar down to 3 and play while increasing the volume slightly untill you hit a sweet spot (leave the tone on the guitar on 10)
Ultimately to get the sound you want you need to match your pickups to the amp and or experiment with input booster pedals.
Brian may gets his sound with AC30s some boost and delays . Eric Clapton used a 5 watt tube amp to get the sound he wanted in the studio. It is all about sound and tone . Electric guitarists need to be tone merchants - Michael Shenke uses 50 watt Marshalls
because he prefers the tone over the 100 watts !!
Duane Allmän pulled two of the tubes out, so he could get more overdriven tones at 50watts, while Dickey Betts used all four power tubes to keep it cleaner.
I always get crapped on for saying that a 100w just pushes harder than a 20/40 etc and now I know I'm right. It's all about harmonics even turned up to 3 or 4 (pretty load)on the volume dial 5 to 7 gets humming along nicely on a 100w. And no you don't always have to play at 11 on a 100 w to get a great sound either, people forget this. Thank you so much Andertons. My dad just said "does a 4 cylinder sound louder than a v8? No, but which has more power and sound better? Yeah a v8 does all day everyday ;)
I like watt you did here!
Considering everything was being set to 12 o'clock, perhaps it's just me, but everything sounded a little tame (probably the recording method, I know). But I couldn't set my Blackstar HT Stage 100 at 12 o'clock, it would take the roof off, even in a live situation. Latest trick I've used is putting a volume pedal in the loop to get the amp saturation and as the pedal is in the loop, reducing the signal without any loss.
My 50 watt Plexi type full up is plenty loud. You want more headroom, use 100.
Output tube distortion is still the Holy Grail gain sound.
Send the Victory amps back....
Two Notes gear sound better than UA OX, more crisp....
Shir Khan actually was the tiger, not the "snake character" from the Junglebook.
The snake singing "Trust in me" was Kha'a.
Just ask Rudyard Kipling.
Would really love to see you guys get your hands on BadCat and Matchless amps
Rob's got a Bad Cat. He's played it on his channel.
The Captain CRANKS up the AMPS boyz!!!!
The reason you noticed the smaller amps being more rounded and with less punch is because you are driving the same set of speakers with both amps, you really need a speaker cab suited to the smaller amps to be realistic to them. It's the same with the OX, they are just turning watts into heat and again you have less power to drive to speaker cones. It's just like life really, it's all about relationships and how well we get on together.
Like what kind of cab?
Something rated at 20w
@@derryuk2282 Marshall amps thru a 1960AX cabinet with Greenbacks. I was thinking that the speakers' influence on the way the different wattage amps sound wasn't taken into consideration. Greenbacks compress and distort pretty easily.
Moregain Chappers and Captain Anderson
I’m confused. 4:20 Chappers is playing on what is supposed to be a high gain channel but has a green LED. 4:30 and the amp is back on the red channel.
Explain please Mr Editor.
I have 5 slightly used ear plugs I could send, enough for Rob and Lee with one for spare.
LOL the GoPro should become a comedian.
I'm a lefty, and all I can say is your playing that guitar backwards.
I would've loved to see the 20 watt Marshall SCH20 compared to the 100 watt Marshall JCM 800 in this
I used to think the power to volume thing was gospel until I got to play a stealth 5150 through a 4x12 and got a got tone at a similar volume to my blackstar ht1r through a 1x12
Interesting... I thought The Captain sounded much better playing through the Victory. When he used the marshall, it just sounded harsh and brittle. When Chappers played through it with the same guitar it sounded very different. Maybe it's just my ear- which tends to prefer Fendery amp tones. Also, the Strat sounded better through the 40 watt Victory when Captain turned it up. (but again, I kind of prefer that slightest hair of drive on "clean" tones- esp with a brand F type guitar.) Not really surprising, that's how tube amps work. The headroom is the main difference. A smaller tube amp will compress and drive earlier- at volume levels that won't necessarily knock a house off it's foundation. The big amps were designed in a time when guitar players had to provide ALL their own sound reinforcement when playing live. Thus, they needed to be loud, and have lots of headroom. Today, that's not true- everything is run through the PA. Also, that "boxy" sound of a great, low wattage combo screaming it's lungs out is awesome- and plastered all over a lot of classic records.
He had the prs coil tapped on the marshall gave it that fuzzy sound.

JCM 800 2203 vs SC20h? With the ampete to a/b both
Take care of your hearing, boys... don't want to end up like Pete Townsend, eh? That Victory 40 makes the two of you both sound better IMHO, if you want a clean sound. You guys really need a dB meter to equal all things out.
