Great video Mertay,
I learnt a lot in the "Gas, What next" thread, didn't know it was famous though  (For those that haven't seen it, it's HERE ) I always was under the same assumption that 100watts is twice as loud as 50watts, now being able to go from 1w-5w-20w with my Peavey I am amazed at how little the volume changes. I've also found, that for some reason, the 5w setting is the sweetest sounding of the three. I don't understand why but that's how it seems, to my ears anyway.One thing in that video bugs me though, there's a humming noise that keeps fading in and out  Cheers Mertay

When using the cab. sim. on it though this might not be a fact as I don't know the internal structure. I do know your blackstar for example disables the power section on cab. out while the Peavey seems more andvanced and might work differently. The humm is an electrical issue, if your country's is say 120v this value can slightly go up or down and this causes noise. Grounding protects when its higher which is very good for anything electrical in the house (its not too expensive to make grounding if the house doesn't have it). But when low, though its not harmful for many electrical items his causes humming on amps. Fixing that is super expensive for the whole house but for amp+computer a smaller online ups shouldn't be too expensive. This post has been edited by Mertay: Feb 19 2016, 10:10 PM |

I don't have the hum, it's on their video, it phases in and out, very annoying

ehheh yeah
guitar players who spent most of their times on stage suffer from hearing loss most among musicians, I guess the video explains the reason to this too
