why else would you get a 100watt marshall stack.

lol so the other guitarist in the band doesnt over power me with his marshall 30th aniversary half-stack, gotta crank a 100 watt solid state round to about 6-7 to keep up, but still struggle to hear me, was alrite wen he only had a solid state head.
when he use to plug up his gibson LP, the power was just insane compared to a pissy SS amp, he used his satch so he could hear me lol.

Back in my day, "crankin' it" mean't going all the way to 10!!

But that would have been too scary

Wow one day i will own one of those. It is my dream amp. Apart from its probably too loud for me

i like the smaller ones because they get that cool tube sound without deafening me

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...

Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?

Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.

Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?

Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?

Marty DiBergi: I don't know.

Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?

Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.

Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.

Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

Nigel Tufnel: [pause] Ours go to eleven.

HAAHAHAHA

I love it

but surely after 7 or 8 it doesnt actually get any louder, it just saturates?

Blues Geek: The numbers on mine all go to twelve. Look, right across the board, twelve, twelve, twelve and...

I picked up the re-release of the spinal tap dvd last week. Some of the previously unreleased footage is gold.

It's true, slam the clean channel with some OD and let it rip

I generally don't. But it can be tamed with a bit of bass/mids and gain dampening. It just is a bit too compressed in a muddy kind of way, but at high volume (over 4 on the master), it actually sounds rather chunky.
