master volume setting on marshall

Hi there,

I want to use my AFD100 marshall with my two notes torpedo live but just curious about how much I can crank the master?

Slash always had his master cranked around 8 to get power tube distortion but I thought I read not to dial it too high when using it with the torpedo?

The other option I have is to crank the master but use the in built power scaling to drop down the output but get the power tube distortion.

Just wondering if there would be any negative effects?
 
Some 100W amps can output way more than 100W when used very hard. It can easily be around 150W.

The Torpedo Live should handle it anyway, at least for some time, before telling you it runs too hot. ^^

The other thing is diming the amp will wear the tubes very fast, and not every amp sound good at max volume.

Other than all that, you can try and see for yourself. ;)
