Great point. To decrease loudness by 1/2 you have to go 10 times less actually if I recall correctly. A 10 watt amp is 50% as loud as a 100 watt amp if I recall correctly.Wattage of a tube amp can be deceiving. Tube amps are rated at "clean" power, yet most people like to drive them to the point of breakup to get better responsiveness (is that a word?) out of them.
In order to double the volume of a tube amp, you need to increase the rated watts by ten times.
So, if Warren buys his half watt amp, which is .5 watt, my Valve Jr, which puts out 5 watts, will be twice as loud, and someone else's 50 watt Marshall, or Traynor Blue, or what have you, will be twice as loud as my Valve Jr....
I found this which explains wattage:

There are better sites out there that deal with guitar amplification specifically, but I found that one first
Check out www.amptone.com. I believe that is the site that really covers this topic.

Too much $$$. Can't beat the 5 watt Epi head. The cabinet they make for it is schweet too and real birch! The whole package is just way too cheap and makes a killer modding platform.Originally Posted by warren0728
I was going to go with a guytronix. Just too many options already available for far less money. That and I wasn't bowled over by how my friend's sounded.
i have an epi jr combo....just want to try and build an amp myself and thought this one looked cool. I have heard really good things about the amp but have not heard one myself (of course the way i play tone doesn't really matter! )
