That is one of the loudest 30 watt amps of all time.

I'll second the Pubster! If it's anything like my rivera Quiana, the tone is killer. Gibson has a couple low watt amps i've been hearing good things about also.
...once had a silvertone 1/2 stack. With my big muff it sounded kinda ok

Even low watt amps go pretty loud. I've got an old Gibson Skylark that's probably around 30 watts. The treble is still peircing full volume in a smallish room.
There are some places on the net that sell 1 or 2 watt (etc...) tubes to put in the power amp to lower the volume. Don't know if they wreck the amp or not <shrug>

Oh REALLY????
nanohead by zvex. 1 watt clean 5 watts distorted. For your average 4x12" ...
I do not agree with the don;t matter anyway opinions at all. I have the mesa studio .22 combo (get the one with the Graphic EQ) and man is it a difference. Sure, it still egts loud. but it's suppossed too... i want my speakers top freakin MOVE dont I? I also want to be able to reach 6 on the volume knob without having to use industrial earprotection. I do have plugs though (-25 dB)
You will LOVE the extra powertube crunch.

Don't discount "a couple of dB". A 3 dB increase is, by definition, twice as loud.

Um, sort of. Actually a 3dB increase is what you get when you double the power. Twice as loud is 10dB.

You very well may be right, but that's not the way I remember it. I kept my text for an acoustical engineering course I took (and it's been a while), so I'll check it out when I get home.

Put a blanket over the cab face and then push it up agaionst the wall (speakers towards the wall).dragonworks said:I want something I can crank to overdrive naturally without hurting myself.
My VL1002 had an attenuator but I did not like the sound of the amp itself.
I like the super reverb when it is cranked but it is to loud, plus a little to big to lug around when not necessary.
Thanx for the info so far.
Keep it coming.
I have a friend that used to gig like that with a 100 watt marshall. he carnked it wide open to get the natural distortion...put the blanket over the cab and turned it around backwards pushed up against the wall of the club. It sounded great. For a super reverb (40 watts) just a blanket over the speakers should be enough dampening.
Fender blues juniors are supposed to sound really good, according to many users...I have never heard one

I've got one and it does sound great with my Les Paul. With my Strat, not so much; it doesn't do clean very well. Clean blues? Well, there you have it, ;^)

The Crate V-series 30 watt is pretty cool! I just bought one.

I like a dirty strat sound through the Jr. My main complaint with the Jr is it's a little dull sounding but I guess that's part of it's "vintage" charm. That and the tubes and reverb are really noisy (from rattling) when you crank it up. Not a big deal for live use but you do notice it when recording (at least on the one I used).

For an AWESOME combination you should try a P-90 guitar in the neck position (I use a les paul double cut) through the Blues Jr.
amazing tone.

Yup.
2xpower= +3db = small increase in volume
4xpower= +6db = significant increase in volume
10xpower= +10db= "doubling" of volume
40W is about 2db louder than 25W, all else being equal.
