Members mcr23 Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 So some guy came last night to check out the bass I am selling. He's a guitarist too but (like me when I bought the bass) wants to fool around with a bass. He noticed my studio/quad/295 rack and the Sig:X below it and said that he sold his sig:x because he coudln't hear any power section "tubeyness" from the amp at (very) low volume on the 100W setting. I immediate gave him a and :facepalm:ed without realizing it. I went [on] to explain that high wattage tube amps with big bottles don't normally have power section drive at bedroom volumes :poke: and that this is esp true with the Siggy because it's a NMV amp. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members spawnofthesith Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 He actually said the at low volumes part? 's and 's for sure Can't the Sig X go down to 40 watts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TU BE Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 You should have kicked him in the vagina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I think he was a card-carying brutalz type of kid and the 40W setting does loosen the feel a bit (not as much as other amps with SS/tube rectifier options). The 40W setting is my favorite because I can coax some nice power section out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Giga Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hmm, my Sig was just as loud at 40W as at 100W up to about noon on the channelvolumes. After that, it ran out of steam while in the 100W setting it would get even louder (obviously) Giga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
