*Still loud enough to piss the pundits off though
Saying that allot of gig venues here can't cope with a 15w amp cranked up.
I find the more often you play loud the less loud it seems.... that is also called hearing loss
Also beyond a certain point the amp won't really get louder but it will get more saturated and clip differently in the power section.
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
Ive seen a couple say that a 1959 slp "isn't that loud" compared to what? An earthquake? Which church would be ok with you running a plexi at full tilt?
Yes they have big churches. Jimi used an SLP at Woodstock, just how big are these churches?
A far cry from the stone echo chambers of our churches.
but realistically a 25w amp at full tilt is not hugely quieter than a 50w or a 100w for that matter, I think those guys are running clean with pedals for drive, rather than cranking the amp for drive.
Obviously that's a gross generalisation.
Jesus must make it quieter.
Our mains electric is 240v.
Theirs is 110v.
So our therefore our amps sound 2.2 times louder when on the same settings.
Why others can't see this is beyond me.
