You foiled my well laid plot to start a thread hoping that people would fall into my trap just so I could interject my pre-planned follow ups. I had months of threads written out and organized and now they are all useless!!! Now I have to start all over without the use of hyperbole about inter-generational relationships and clearer inferences so as not to be perceived as passing comments. NOOOOO!!!!<br><br>Seriously, sorry to annoy you, imalone.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[The other thing I have found with amps is that what you think is loud or has a great tone in your living room when you are playing by yourself is a whole different ball game when you are playing with a drummer and other instruments.<br>I found that alot of stuff sounds great by yourself but sounds like total crap or gets lost in the mix in a live situation.

This is true.  Before our drummer passed, I was using a modeling amp in a band situation believe it or not.  It was a 75 watt Peavey VYPYR.  The tones I would dial in by myself did not necessarily work the best with the band.  It was a $300 amp, it was loud enough and it did work in the band situation.  I did subsequently purchase a large 100 watt tube amp head for my Fender 4 X 12 cab but I had no issues with the 75 watt moddeler being loud enough.]]></content:encoded>
