My 50w Klipp noticeably louder than my 100w - why???

Thanks Spud - but completely useless in explaining my case!  I'm using the same cab and same amp model, just a 50w vs 100w.  I think my current 100w needs a service as it's chucking out less power than 'Malcolms' DSL50 (as proven last night).  Sounds beautiful and sweet though so I think I'll live with it until something breaks!  :D

Looking forward to doing the back-to-backs with the two 100w heads tonight...

Sorry,

Yeah I realise it's not really related to your problem, it's just something I found interesting when I learnt it at college. I was just trying to point out that the difference in level between 50w and 100w is not very large, which is something I think people don't generally expect. Differences in the speaker and valves etc. even if they're the same model, could easilly make up the 3dB difference you'd expect to find between the50 and 100w amps.

Cheers,
Spud.

No probs Spud.

Well I tried the two 100w heads out and they sound pretty much the same volume - tone is a little different due to the different valves.

I think the 50w I have is a rogue freak...
