Is this amp loud enough to play in a gym with? Thanks.

I would say yes, unless you are in a band that wants to blare the windows out.

This amp gets really loud. I've played one in a large room and didn't have it past 2 on the volume.

oh yeah id say so, when im in my room i usually set the volume between 1 and 0 because the thing is so freakin loud

It's a pretty small amp, great for practice or relatively low-volume gigs, but I wouldn't use it in a bigger venue without miking it through a PA. It just doesn't have the power for a full-tilt electric band, but it is a nice little unit and well worth the price.

I have the Emotiva amp connected to the output of a Yamaha receiver. The amp sounds pretty clear, but I would not say it is louder. One of the main reasons I got the amp was to drive my 4-ohm speakers. The amp itself (if I recall) need somewhat higher input voltage to amplify, but loudness is adequate for my room.

High volume is going to be subjective, of course, and since I'm in an apartment, I'm not one to push too much. What I can say is that with the amp at 5 W, volume at 10, gain at 1, and with a Strat almost all the way up, it's pretty clean. If I use an LP clone with more signal, there's more crunch. So signal in affects the crunch and of course the volume. I've gotten clean sounds with this, but it's a balance between the signal in, the gain, and the volume. All that said, it is NOT an Fender Twin.

Yeah it has a very good sound... I use this amplifier with a piano and you just need to equalize very good LOW, MID and HIGH depending on the type of instrument you are reproducing. Of course it is small, dont think that you are going to play in a concert with a lot of people, its more like just for you and practice with your band or monitor yourself...

As long as u dont rasie the volume too much it should be fine but i would get a more powerful amp

Very much so! And larger gigs ALWAYS mic up the amps, so volume is really never a problem.

It would, but it's more well suited for individual practice as it's a pretty small amp. Although if the venue is small enough it might be loud enough

I have miced this amp in a studio setting for recording before but I would be extremely hesitant do use this amp in a live setting. It's a practice amp mainly meant for home use.

We use ours in an outside bar and it is plenty loud enough. Not sure if you are wanting to use this just to play a song / songs during the ceremony (which should be fine) or wanting to use it for the reception party (def will not be sufficient). If just wanting to play some background music or a special song during the ceremony it should be fine.

Yes. The highs are decent. It is plenty loud, proably enough for a small setting. Ive been trying to get the overall tone more clear but it seems to always have a mid range issue. Sort of muddy. But its a great amp

I bought a Klipsch SW-350, and it's great. If you're looking for a subwoofer that will rattle the walls of a gym, this isn't it, but it has plenty of power for the average home.

I've used this amp only in closed rooms. When the volume is too high it tends to get distortioned. I don't recommend it for busking.

I just checked on my own and I think I would be loud enough for use with drums in the basement, but only using distortion. If you're going for a clean sound, forget it. You'll be limited on what sounds you can get with it distorted. Overall it's a great little practice amp, but not to be gigged with. Hope this helps!

I'm a group fitness instructor and I just plug in the 1/4 inch and use the volume knob on the base and it works great. I teach step aerobics and BodyPump so my music is fairly loud and the participants have no problem hearing me.

It will play but it will hardly move and it will probably be too quiet to hear. I'd get an amp rated for at least 600watts rms.

I'm assuming that's an amp? I have a kicker amp pushing 500 max and sounds great. Sub can handle more than what I give it

The tone sweet spot for the amp diminishes as the volume drops, but it is still pretty good a fairly low volume. If you have a gigging and individual practice amp, I would not buy this for the individual practice amp. It is powerful enough to gig at just about any small to medium venue without a PA and to practice with a band, but bigger venues will need a PA. I generally favor not buying something to do everything, because then you just get something that is mediocre in all situations. This is the exception. I did not need anything smaller or bigger.
