Members analgrinder333 Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 honestly, i rarely have my head cranked all the way up. But i do play it loud. Just something about pushing the tubes hard that really gets me going. Same for me but I play my MP1 with my Marshall JCM900 and 4x12 cabs at home. But I prefer play with small tube sound instead play with modeling amp like Line6:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fyrebyrd Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 I've cranked my Tiny Terror (into 2x12) about 3 times over the last few months that I've had it and that was for about 10 seconds. Bear in mind I live in terraced housing (i.e. city/stuck-together houses) Thank goodness for the fact my room is on the side of the virtually deaf old woman's house...

Members LowMach Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 i have a 50 watt all tube silvertone head in the closet that never comes out. i cranked it to max once and had a back to the future moment though. it actually blew loose papers and dart flights off a shelve 5' away. i will stick to my 1/2 watt ruby head, 5 watt champ clone head, electar tube 10, and vj head. i do have a webber 50 watt attenuator on the way though.

Members V-Type Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 I have a couple of rigs. One I keep at my Bass players the other at my Drummers and then at home its the POD XT and headphones. This way I dont get in trouble for owning 3 4x12's and two amp heads as well as a combo. Heres a couple of pic's of two of my simple rigs. Edit: I dont have a pic of my Laney yet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members analgrinder333 Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 I spoke with a man on Germany... He made an isolating box for cabs (into this you have 4x12 cab with one SM57). Really amazing, you hear sound by recording monitoring and He play with Marshall JMP and JCM800. He tested to records bass part with SVTIII on this and sound was awesome and nothing hear amp sound exept by recording monitor. Probleme: expenssive to make this:blah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sylvesterlowery Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 I crank mine out in the shop next to the house. I live next door to my job in a a mostly industrial area of town, so i can max it out when I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Joranges Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 In my previous house, my basement had thick, thick, thick cement walls which I could crank.. but that's the past. .. Now I can't even have a 5Watter cracked without the neighbours knocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fiverz Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 I hate you HCEG. I decided since no one was home and it was my last day of vacation to actually crank my high gain channel on my B-52 and slowly up the master to see what I can withstand. Well I had the Gain 2 on about 8-9 with master on 2 ... LOUD AS {censored} ... and I switched from my treble pickup to in-between ... and with a loud !POP! all of a sudden I lost like 70-80% of the volume. I got afraid and just turned it off. I'm guessing I blew or at least rattled a power tube eh? I was planning on retubing it at some point in the next couple months but it just sucks that I can't play it for the rest of the day. Or can I? Anyways back to the OP, nope ... never cranked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members metalhead666666 Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 My valveking 212 never gets turned up past 4 usually below 1 my solid state halfstack that I had for a few weeks stayed at 3 the valvekings louder. I don't think you need a 412 unless it's a solid state but then it doesn't sound good cranked either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JC777 Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 I used to have an Ampeg half stack. I was never able to use it to it's full potential. So I sold it to a friend. I never got it above 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stephan1980 Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 I've got a 65W 1x12 solid state which I have never cranked.... I tried 3/4 volume for half a second and was way too loud for my eardrums. My ears like 1/2 volume on this thing. I cannot imagine how damaging a 100W tube amp with a half stack or full stack would be cranked. Especially right in front of it... Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members funkymonk937 Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 no stack here - I have a Line 6 Flextone II XL 2x12 100 watt combo amp... the other day I turned it up to 5 and it was so loud I nearly shat myself. I can't imagine needing anything else. My 120 Watt Line 6 Spider III combo amp, at home I play on 1-3, but at band practice I have to go up to 6 sometimes, where it is just blasting like crazy... It's insane how much the difference between small numbers matters on amps lol. I think if I turned it up all the way It could possibly affect the foundation of my house haha.

Members pissdrunx Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 I live with my girlfrind during the week and I crank the 5w harley benton(epi valve jr.) into a 1x12 all the time, I even boost it! At home I use a jcm 800 50W into a 2x12, rarely cranked it though. Did it once or twice and my gradma was like, did an airplane land on our house-shee`s the cooles!

Members coyote-1 Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 200w vintage Marshall Major stack here. Yes, I do occasionally crank it up in the basement - especially when playing the Hammond thru it. A few months ago, it shook a small stereo speaker and every ceramic piece off a high shelf in the dining room. My wife still gets on me about that thanks to my THD hot plate, my 50w marshall is dime'd @ home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kid Klash Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 No way. I use my Marshall half stack cranked for shows and recording only, if needed. More times than not, I don't even need to crank it for most gigs (with outdoor gigs being the exception); I can get "my sound" at lower volumes, so it's more for looks, cred and "presence" than for volume.

Members CGord Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 I don't play out, so as much as I'd love some badass half stack, I can't justify spending the $$$ on one. I want to buy one of those Krank Rev Jr mini-stacks, that seems like a cool home unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
