Hi, I just got done reading your amp guide article. Great little article. Precise and to the point. I've got some questions though..


== 1 ==
What is an effects loop?

== 2 ==
If you plan on using affects, do you need multiple channels?

== 3 ==
Is there anyway to get a tube amp to sound great at low volumes?

== 4a ==
This article wasn't the first time I've heard that tubes sound their best at loud volumes. My guess is that it's not so much how loud they are, rather how hard you're driving the tubes right?

== 4b ==
If that's the case, could you simply put a pot between the drivers and the actual head thus.. Allowing you to drive your amp hard, but control the actual output the drivers separately?

== 5 ==
Can a 10 watt amp sound as good as, or sound the same as a 100 watt amp? Not asking about all the bells and whistles, just sound quality. I realize this is kind of a loaded question because I doubt a 10 watt amp is capable of driving a 4x12 cab. But. in theory if it were, is it possible that the two would have the same sound signature?

== 6 ==
Is Marshall "all that and a box of chocolates" like everyone says?

== 7 ==
Are there lesser expensive amps that sound just as good as Marshall?

== 8 ==
Are the affects built into tube amps generally good quality or should you typically use separate pedals?

== 9 ==
If you know you want to use separate pedals for affects, is there any point to buying an amp with built in affects?
