Well, I will say it before, I am right behind you on this one. i agree that it might be a bit hard to be able to get a full warm tone with teh sound down to very low levels, but still. It is interesting the way it is written as a good thing that the amps are so loud, I guess it is that sort of "bang for your buck" belief that people have. By the way, would it be possible to put a dial that takes the wattage down on a normal amp? I mean, do the amps have to be meade completely differently? I can't really understand a lot of the techier aspects of that amptone article, so i owuld be interested to know just hoow much adjustment it would take for major companies like Marshall and Fender to start adding this feature on their range of amps.
