I have no idea. I'd assume some form of witchcraft. Just measured it, 350 watts apparently.
How many watts is your home/bedroom amp?

What you need to understand with tonal wattage is it's measured in parsecs which means you need a calibrated baromulatizer to get an accurate reading.

I think the Katana is 100w, but obvs solid state and switchable etc. I use it with headphones more than anything.

Re: How many watts is your home/bedroom amp?
One day I’d like to set my Mesa boogie mark 4 to full and see what explodes first - the amp or my house. It’s officially 85 watts but unofficially apparently it can far exceed that.

Custom Tremolux 1x10- 12.5watts clean
Custom Reverberocket 1x12 - 28watts clean (I think- can’t find the documentation)
AC15 2x12 - 15watts
The Tremolux and Reverberocket were built by Ryan, and are both a bit special. I run them with attenuators, but my house is really well insulated so I can frequently crank them without disturbing the neighbours.
As a side note- Ryan was in the process of naming his amp company Wolverton Amps - I might start referring to them as that (because “Ryan Built” is weirdly clunky)

I wonder what proportion of his amps are currently held by you, myself and Ants.

Re: How many watts is your home/bedroom amp?
Some time ago now I heard he was doing better from some people who knew him. Not much more info other than that he'd been through some stuff and was coming out the other side, which was a nice update. I know there was some bad blood with people around the scene (and here) that he might have stuffed around but I always thought highly of him and respected his knowledge and openness. Miss having a coffee and a yarn with him at the shop about amps.

Re: How many watts is your home/bedroom amp?
I met him once when I popped into his shop. He seemed great then but I can understand now how hard it would be to make a living as an amp tech from rented premises. P wrecks alot of decent people.

Re: How many watts is your home/bedroom amp?
Speaking of, had a couple of offers for my Ryan amp today. With the Jag incoming, have to let something go.
10/10, would buy again.
