one question though, you wouldn't overdrive those amps right because they're designed to run in clean with your modeller doing all the work. so 15 watts RMS is going to be 15 watts full stop right? Whereas usually a 15 watt tube or even solid state you can crank up to about 25 watts if you really over drive it (or am i totally wrong?)

15 watts of tube tone is equally as loud as 30 watts of solid state tone... So the amp would be pretty loud... Although... I believe the Atomic amps are primarily engineered for recording. They're useful in gettin a good mic'd amp sound.... rather than plugging your pod or other modeller straight into the multi tracker.... Sometimes you get a better... more realistic tone by pushing it through speakers... Useful little rigs though. Look pretty sweet.
