What volume do you play at home?

[skoora]

I play at about 3 Gallons.

 

[alund]

around TV volume but I run a 3 amp stereo/wet rig so it still sounds massive at the low volume

How are you doing this ?

 

[mcstinger]

I mostly play thru a JCM800 master vol on 8 into a reactive load/line out..

so, yeah.

I fall between the 3rd and 4th. Out of curiosity, how loud approximately in dB would a Mark VII be in 45 watt mode with the master volume at 1 o'clock.

They're waiting for you.

Most days, I play at lower basement volumes. But my wife works nights on Tuesdays and Thursday and shit gets loud.

I can't believe people would track their dbs.

I pulled out the old school Radio Shack SPL Meter. It never went over 80db.
My Schecter Reaper is that loud not plugged in..

Everything matters for consistency in recording an analog speaker. With my setup I find best tone is in the 100-105dB range.

Easy to do with phone apps.

Funny you say. I had a show Friday… needless to say it’s in a venue that has different acoustics than the band practice room. I had to rely on my practice settings which I play at same setting every time.. I knew my sound was right at the show but I sounded to me different. I chose to trust my settings to a T and on the recordings that we listened to after, it was my tone.. what I heard that night was only my perception BUT I am glad I didn’t chase my tone (eq volume distortion delay). I trusted what I knew to be right. Point is, I think by playing the same way and at same dB all the time allows me to know where I need to be. I think.

I just moved so trying to figure out what I can get away with at the moment. In my last place, somewhere around 98. That is using a dB meter app on my phone.

Finally wired up the rig last night and kept it to 60 until I can treat some windows and doors. Which has to happen. Just feels better having the volume up a bit.

How are you doing this ?

I have a stereo pre amp (the white one) that is a randall Satan pre amp on one side and a OG 5150 on the other (also has the 5150ii that is switchable) .. this goes into a poweramp and into the 2 marshall cabs and my Boss katana (purple head) goes into the the centre cab and runs all effects

then I plug into an ABY pedal one goes to the KAt and the other goes to the preamp (which is wired to run both preamps if plugged into the left hand socket

Ah I see. Thanks for clarifying.
