Members sufidancer Posted July 16, 2006 Members Share Posted July 16, 2006 I use to have a Crate GFX212 100watter solidstate that on 2 would blow your head off and peel paint. That freaken amp was really LOUD! My 5150 head seems to have a logrhythmic corrrelation between volume and knob number. I play post gain at around 3 or 4 and that is enough to drown out a unmic'd drummer. I ventured into the 5/6 territory and tucked my tail between my legs. I like my hearing thank you.

Members Ultrahighgain Posted July 16, 2006 Members Share Posted July 16, 2006 Any amp with a rugged A/B push pull power amp using 6L6s is gonna have serious volume output power. Fender Twins are louder than hell too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the Transformer (120w) power or ouput transformer?? As far as the pot setting to volume ratios being different, you can't expect them to be the same. The resistor and capacitor networks in each amp can be radically different even if the pots are the same. The pots are just a very small part of the overall circuit. I'm thinking the tone stack in the Fender and the Peavey would be in different locations too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members andyhumb Posted July 16, 2006 Members Share Posted July 16, 2006 I actually prefer somewhat quieter (smoother) amps, they are more useful to me in a live band situation - I would be complaining if my amp was "too loud" at volume level 2 - I would rather have it "too loud" at 7 on the dial - that way I can run it somewhere around 4 or 5 and be happy. That also gives we more control and actually makes the volume knob truly useful. I want more smoothness with the volume control, so that I can have more control with stage volume, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's MOJO.... Why the {censored} does it matter? If it's too loud, turn it down to balance between the other two... PROBLEM SOLVED... otherwise, why don't you email Peavey and ask them... I'm sure they are more knowledgeable of the amp they designed than nearly anyone here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
