Hey guys,
Mainly for interest, how do loud (50w upwards) tube amps compare to smaller (5-15w) amps at lower volume levels?
For example, 95% of most playing is practicing at lower volumes, so would a 10w sound better then a 50w at that volume?
You can obviously get some great tube distortion at far more manageable volumes with a little amp, but since the big ones all have Master Volume switches, is it not the same?
Would be great to hear some thoughts!
