QUOTE (Goliath @ Sep 1 2007, 03:22 AM)  Yeah ultimately I'd like to own a powerball but I really don't have a need for it right now. The thunder and fireball heads are pretty affordable considering what they are. I was pleasantly surprised this week to find otu MF was starting to carry ENGL, before there was only a boutique guitar shop in my city that had them and that would mean having to pay salestax on it. Now that MF has it, they ship for free and there's no salestax! So it's kind of a built in savings I suppose. That, and they don't have the thunder head, they just have the fireball, powerball, and the 412 and 212 cabs. They're wanting $700+ for a 212 cab! WTF. I mean I don't want to match that badly. Nah, you can find quality speakers f ex from avatar I tried to order from there once but they didn't ship to sweden

QUOTE (Anomaly @ Sep 1 2007, 06:55 AM) And I don't like to stand near a train when it passes by.  There you have it! QUOTE (Anomaly @ Sep 1 2007, 06:55 AM) So, this probably means too loud? Always. QUOTE (Anomaly @ Sep 1 2007, 06:55 AM) Like not being able to have a conversation near a drummer I think the correct expression would be - Like not being able to have a conversation with a drummer Drumming or not, it's just not possible.  Well, it's loud, what can I say, I have a hearing loss just a tiny frequence that my left ear doesn't pick up and I've always been standing with my left side to the drummers. And a good crash or cymbal, it' hurts. I always use good earplugs nowadays but used to have cotton or these yellow workers plugs, sometimes I forgot to bring and played without. Real christmas tree plugs are the best! -------------------- My bands homepage

QUOTE (MickeM @ Sep 1 2007, 07:24 AM) There you have it! So I don't fall under it, or so I don't "fall" ("accidentally") under it.

Drummers are nice! Says me who hasn't heard a drummer play.

Real christmas tree plugs are the best! Like these http://www.christmas-tree-farm.com/drippic012.html ? So cotton and yellow workers plugs suck? And, I've read that the plugs have to fit in your ear evenly, like with no tiny holes, and probably so they don't create a vacuum. So you can perhaps hear all of the frequencies the same amout as without them, but not as loud.

I only put an ear plug in the ear on the drummers side... and only if the drummer has an excessively loud kit. As for 30 Watt tube being enough to overcome a drummer... yes! If you wanted you could probably hurt their ears!
30 Watt solid state would not be near enough IMO. My 65 watt Solid state doesn't get nearly as loud as my 15 watt tube amp if that gives you an idea of how far 30 watt Solid state will get yah.
