Right in Front - 10 to 15 feet away from the Cab - is the right Place to be.

I'm pretty late to the party here. Is there still time for me to mention a random amp I've never tried that has nothing to with the thread?

Only if everyone has alternative amps that they think are better, or a better value, locked and loaded to argue about

In my experience... I would rather be in the same room with a cranked Plexi than a cranked Twin.. Twins are just fucking brutally uncomfortable past 5-6 on the volume control.

I've had both and a two valve G bugle blows them both away.

Sounds all too loud for me. I try to stay under 120 dbs.

My DR 504 with 2 EV loaded cabs is the loudest amp I've played. Stoooopid loud.

Yep not surprising. and that's the 50 watt lol
I've played a million amps, owned a million amps, and even built a ceriatone 103 (which turned out amazing btw)
The absolute, no doubt, 100% loudest guitar amps i've ever experienced are hiwatts and it isn't particularly close
A cranked plexi is visceral and raw. A cranked twin can get painful. A big GA-50 or 200 rhythm king can fill the hell out of a big room or theater; a hiwatt's headroom just keeps going and going and going and doesn't stop, and cranking one up is well into "dangerous permanent hearing damage" territory

That'd probably keep up with a G bugle, lol. People think I'm kidding, until they stand in a G bugle's line of fire. There is a reason they were used in military engagements to signal troops. Unbelievable levels of projection.

Post reported. Put the tan pants down.
Well, it set a new baseline for me. The only things I can think of immediately with more ear shocking power is a jet engine or a top fuel dragster. I had a bike with big straight pipes and upswept trumpet mufflers. That must've been close to 130dB when you were seated on it and closed the throttle, LOL. I guess I've never stood in front of a hiwatt, and tbh, don't really want to.

A cranked DR103 is a thing of glory, 100% but it's seriously dangerous volume levels
I cranked mine up in my garage to record some clips and the 711 two and a half blocks away were the ones who called the cops for the noise complaint
It's such an amazing sound but you'd have to be fucking nuts to be one of the "gigs with one" guys. If i had to do it over, i'd do a 504 like @67mike
Same tone, just a little bit easier to handle

LOL! Awesome. I rolled my Plexi out of my parents garage back in the day and it could be heard a couple miles away through the woods when cranked. I've thought about cranking my Twins on the porch for 4th of July star spangled banner action. It'd probably travel four miles down to Valero since I'm up on a vantage point, LOL.
