Follow up question if I may. Therefore if I'm considering a head that is 100w with a 50w switch, to the same head that is 50w native...The 50w would sound better than the 100 in 50w mode. Correct? I'm trying to make that decision right now on an amp. I understand that the 100w version is "best" more than likely, but I doubt I'll have much opportunity given I'm in Cali and don't have a flippin basement to rock out in.
It seems that is what fusedbrain was insinuating if it is a pentode/triode switch. I personally dont love gimmicky shit on the amp. So i would just have an amp designed a certain way and use it.
Let me ask this. Have you played a 50 watt and 100 watt amp?
I've not. I have a 100w JCA 100HDM only at my disposal.
Can you play it in your california home?
When no one else is home..yes. I mean, I can play it whenever I want but......Can I really? LOL.
My reason for this question is you aren't really going to get a quieter amp with a 50 watt, tbh
That is interesting and certainly challenges the assumption I was making. Thanks!
When i first got into guitar, my buddy told me a 100 watt head and 4x12 was too loud for bedroom. He was experienced and i trusted him.
That makes sense. The 100w head would also give you more flexibility when playing out I surmise. I'm not new to guitar. I am new to trying to be any good at it and aspiring to play with like minded individuals.
Oh yeah. I was just relaying my story. But what i didnt say is that you are lucky because you already have a 100.watt at your house, so it takes away from the wondering if a 50 watt will work. I wasn't insinuating you are beginner.
You wouldn't be insinuating if you saw me play..it's embarrassing!
You and me both
