So is this primarily a heavy metal/hard rock guitar player's forum?

Or Cameron, or Billy Blades, or caterpillars, or Polyphia, or TGP, or any amp under 50w, or anything political, or Glen Fricker, or any band with members approaching senior age. Other than that, anything is a valid topic!
Yeah but amps under 50 watts pretty much do suck though.
 
Most of the equipment discussions seem geared in that direction.
Correct.

I'm a bluesman though!
You'll be fine. We love and respect the blues too.

And yeah, pretty hard to get banned here. The rules for this forum, classifieds, off topic etc are pretty clear. If I find out you are a Strandberg junkie and hate Fractal I will be on to you. :yes:

I actually don't know what a Fractal is, please don't spoil that for me. I don't want to be accused of liking strandberg guitars. I get angry when I look at instruments like that. Made for dudes who twirl their hair or something.

Depends on the amp/circuit. If you want to push power tube saturation without destroying your ears low watt is the way to go. I just built a 5 watt Marshall style amp that sounds great. Beautiful EL34 saturation without the ear bleeding volume, but still enough to rock. Put a tube screamer in front it's pure bliss.

My set requires some headroom for some clean tones. I have a 15 watt Gibson but that thing is always breaking down.. I like Twins because they are loud and reliable and most of all cheap. Also guys get upset when I tell them I gig with it on 10, so that's kinda nice too.
