I don't know about in a band setting, but my old ass 22 watt Fender is louder than I need it to be.

Yeah. This is something i notice with clean amps. Especially class a

Deluxe? Work really great for most gigs, sound killer too, but no clean tone if you have to get on top of a loud drummer/band. One of the jam hosts around here has a badass SF deluxe so rich and beefy with a LP/ES.

I remember the first time I learned this lesson. I had been playing high gain for awhile, so i figured an amp couldn't be too loud.

I bought a plexi to have modded, but Shea wouldn't let me send it to him without playing it. So i plugged in and hit the strings. It was more than i wanted, and i didnt even make it to very high on the gain.

That was a loud fucking amp

I didn't say anything snarky to you at all but now you're pressing me. I said I've never heard an 18 watt amp that is actually loud AF because I haven't, not because I wanted to start an argument with you.

No, you said you chuckle at people claiming 18 watts is loud. I found it to be not only snarky, but a tongue-in-cheek personal insult. I was speaking about the Budda Superdrive 18 specifically, from first-hand experience owning one. I'll just hit the ignore button going forward so I don't have to read your high horse drivel.

You're sensitive enough that you would make a fine neo soul artist. Especially since you have an 18 watt amp.

Get a pair of tan slacks and starch/crease them and find out big guy. 18 watts will pin you to a wall then.

And if you narrowly escape death by scarlet fever, a slight breeze will knock you over too.

Sorry man, I've just never heard an 18 watt amp that was actually loud AF.

I had a Budda Super Drive 18 and I can confirm it`s loud AF lol . I made the mistake of wanting to use it as a bedroom amp though . Not whisper quiet or anything like that but it just wasn't gonna work as i had planned . Now wishing I would've kept it since I have somewhat of a jam room and a little bit of knowledge to tame it

I wouldn't call it a clean amp. It can be if you keep it under 4.

I think we will have to agree to disagree on what qualifies as loud AF.

 

[SoooRad]

I had a SuperDrive 18. It had no taper on the volume knob, but also wasn’t loud enough to keep up with my band. Lose-lose

Gotcha

 

[Reverend Bow]

@VonBonfire WHAT? Did you say something?

I can't hear shit over @JackBootedThug 's Bubba

 

[JohnnyGtar]

My Peavey 5150 2x12 Combo had the same damn issue. When they were prototyping that amp, James Brown fixed the volume jump issue by changing the spec of the volume control potentiometer but Ed had him put it back into Zero to NUKE mode.

 

[LightenUpFrancis]

I will say after owning a pair of original spec YBA-1s, and a few 100-watters, the Budda SD30 is the one amp that consistently keeps the fear of god in me. Apples and mandarins, but I had a Bruce Zinky Custom Vibrasonic that didn't scare me the way the Budda does. One day I'll try it out with a Power Station and see if my attitude changes.

 

[JackBootedThug]

Just get a kemper bro

Got one Dan…. Where ever you are….

 

[JackBootedThug]

The Budda is in the central USA… occasionally I think I hear japetus playing smells like teen spirit.. or is that just the wind….

 

[shar-vell Dan]

Alot of the Budda's were made by Peavey.

 

[japetus]

It's loud as hell, but it suits me fine. I love to bathe in it's sonic glory.

Mine is a Peavey made unit, and it's an absolute peach. The handful of times Budda showed up on backline I was working, each unit was from the Peavey era. Of all the models in the lineup, the one I encountered most often was the Twinmaster. The talent behind them was always doing them justice, and where they sat in the mix was a real treat.
