I know many guitarists that play sold out 20,000 seat stadiums with a 65 watt amp connected to the PA. However, tube and solid state amps at 100 watts put out 100 watts of sound period at max volume. Tubes DO NOT produce MORE sound than solid state amps, and equal wattage will mean equal max sound. This is a common misconception due on the fact that they "break up" much clearer at higher levels, and sound much better. It has to do with the way the wave drops off (guitar coming through an amp, like any sound is a repeating wave with a shape and frequency). nice article, definitely true about you don’t need a loud amp for a gig, you can always just mic a little one.

You sure can't beat a cranked tube amp. Hi nice article – The volume side of things is a common musconception. You sure can’t beat a cranked tube amp.
