ahhhhh family

Keep in mind that it's not a parent / kid thing either...I'm a bit older (okay so quite a bit older) and I still get the same reaction from the wife and my son. He's 7 and at times will give me grief about some song that he doesn't like. Someone mentioned it earlier - get yourself some headphones. Many nights I leave the amp off and plug into a little 4-track recorder I have (PS-04) and just can play to my heart's content. I also have a RP200 that has a headphone and a jam-along port (plug the CD player / laptop into it) that works good for this.

Believe me there are days when the neighbors might be complaining because I need to feel that amp booming. But you need to be respectful of those you live with (parents, spouses, kids, pets, etc.). Not everyone wants to hear you running through that same song/scale/riff for the 27th time while your practicing at night :D

Good Luck!

well at least im not the only one here, seems like it is an ongoing battle, but im glad to say that im now very happy with everything i have, i got the 112 extenstion i love it, it adds alot to the sound, but at this time i would just like to thank everyone at guitarnoise for hearing my problems, complaints with anything related to music, thank you guys for your advice and knowledge, its much appreciated over here, but now i cant wait to go back to school with a tube amp and just blast everyone away when my band starts playing.
