I keep wondering whether to get one of those - is it worth it, Matt?

Isn't it incredible how long it's taken the industry to realise most people don't need big amps?!

This has me wondering how long it will take the motor industry to realise that most (maybe even all) people don't need cars that go very fast.  :?

I have always been vaguely puzzled watching Top Gear when Clarkson and his comedy sidekicks have orgasms about cars which do 0-60 in three seconds and have a top speed of 180mph....

So what, quite frankly, unless you have regular access to a F1 test circuit?

Oh a car analogy, someone called for a car freak/obsessive?

Power, IMO, is a drug. One that deminishes with familiarity. Indeed I think I had an impreza about 2 months before I was contemplating the PPP power kit for it and the Impreza is a bloody quick car to start off with. In chasing that hit you do find yourself driving WAY too quickly along with it. It becomes frustrating rather than fun. Which is why I chopped the impreza in for a Mazda MX-5...

Get over questioning my sexuality and wondering if I cut hair (having a friend who is a hairdresser I can guarentee you he got more action from that than any other career path you can think of. Indeed that's why he got into it!), the MX-5 has a sweetly balanced chassis, a revvy engine and not very much grip. All of which adds up to something you can play with at and over it's limit, while still staying on the right side of the law. A car that was fun all of the time rather than just when you had the space to wind it up. I never regretted selling the impreza for a minute.
When you´re racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just pies.

Probably not with the tiles you have on the floor at home.
If your crash pad in the week has flimsy flooring i'd say it's worth getting one. They are about 40 quid after delivery.

I'm thinking for pub gigs - again, not worth it?

If you have a cr@ppy stage where the bass gets boomy. Yes, but it is yet another thing to carry

if you're in a pub, try asking for a couple of beer crates?

In dave's case, best not, he'd knock his amp off them on to his PRS.  :D

then we'd have a thread containing dings in a PRS and dings in a Bogner... shortly followed by a NAD thread about a backup Bogner XTC along with a new PRS.

They are an excellent piece of kit.

They stop unwanted transferance and also really clean up the sound as it isnt being transfered through the floor too if you get what i mean.

Definitely worth it especially for a consistent sound between locations but as has already been said its an extra thing to carry

Good clips of the 1w Marshalls here - I like the 70s JMP the best  :)

Pretty much what I thought. I was hoping she was asking if it could get dirty.
I think I hate being indecisive.

I thought all those amps sounded great, I'm very impressed indeed. If they'd taken a more Cornell approach and gone the power switching route of 10W,1W,.25W and .125W I'd actually be pretty tempted, even at that price. 1W cranked is still too loud for my flat unfortunately.

He did mention about power scaling though - at least  think he did. Not sure if it was on all models or just one though.
