I want the features, but not the wattage. How does this amp sound at low volume?

To elaborate on my previous post, and to answer the question, it sounds fine at low volume if you're looking for clean sounds. I needed a louder amp which is why I chose this model. Best thing to do is find one locally and take it for a test drive.

sounds fine. even though the volume knob is touchy and it wants to go loud with a slight touch.

The channel volume and master volume controls work well in tandem, but the lower the channel volume is set, the less "adjustability" you'll have with the master. For example, if you set channel vol to its lowest setting, you will not get anything more out of the master much past 9oclock on the knob (keep in mind the controls are digital, not true pots, so in this scenario envision 0 volume at 6oclock. By the time you make a quarter turn on the master you're topped out). Hopefully that makes sense!

Excellent. It's a great little amp I would definitely recommend it for purchase. If you like to hear what it sounds like at low volume please check out my soundcloud page at https://soundcloud.com/search?q=romano%20apologeticum look for the songs Full of Grace and Six Tones of Creation. All the guitar tones were recorded using this amp. Enjoy!

Low volume sounds amazing. As a matter of fact low volume mic'd up to a recording console is amazing as well. This truly is an amzing amp for the price.

I would recommend the Peavey VIP 3. It has a lot of the features that this amp has and you are able to control the power of the output. This allows you to play at very low volumes. It's hard to explain how it works exactly, but I would go into a music store that supplies the amp and try it out. With this amp and the Peavey amp, you can also buy the foot controller which has an expression (volume) pedal that is compatible with your amp and it sounds better than using your guitar's volume. Both amps also allow you to plug in your earphones.

The sound quality is pretty good all around i hook up my ipod and play music from it all the time.

sounds like fully distorted 1 watt, sound, or about 60-75 dB A level with soundmeterabout 1 meter away.. it is loud enough for small group...in a room. you can reducelevel of built in distortion, by going lower in vol.

No it doesn't matter u can adjust amp settings to where u want and sounds good. Plus boss amps aren't pushing true amps which means its not a 2600 watt amp

The answer is no. Just a clean and distortion setting. Volume and tone will be from the guitar. Sweet little amp though

This amp puts out about 900 RMS and the speakers you have puts out 400 RMS a piece so it should sound pretty good just make sure you have the amp load at 2ohms or it will keep shutting off

It's ok but you will need to be careful with the gain setting if u wire it to 1 ohm. And if 1 ohm doesn't sound good try it at 4 ohms. What kind of amp? Is it a monoblock? Amp makes a difference

to be honest not even close to 2600 watts. I haven't checked how much it puts out, I had that amp for a month and gave it away. Its not a good amp but if your on a budget its not bad, depends on what sub your hooking it up to.

No, watts don't equate to sounding better. Best to go to a best buy with a magnolia so you can hear different speakers and amps before you buy.

Hi Tyrus,I think the amp is more than sufficient. Please start at low volume otherwise it may damage the speakers. I have used this amp with a couple of speakers between 300W to 500W and it performs well.Thanks and I hope this helpsFernando

A good class A amplifier about 40 watts per channel & like 0.01 pct distortion

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.

I have a 2000 watt amp and it works amazing i do recomend a 2000 watt amp but i cant till you about other amps that are lower than 2000 watt cuz i never tryed it

Hi. Their idea of 800 watts sounds much more like 120 watts, in comparison to a small Peavey or Kustom system (both of which I've owned before). Inside a coffee house, I had to turn it up to 60%, inside a sports bar more like 90%. You'll get more volume if you turn all the tone controls way up, but I don't like doing that.

I installed a "Rockford Fosgate Punch 400-Watt Stereo Amplifier" for these speakers. I did not want anything really loud just a boost. It works great.

For a small amp it has a lot of power, but not enough to be louder than what you described. It's best use is for practice or jamming with your buds. The 50 watt might be more ideal.

No. I'm running a 700 mono block and it's not even turned up all the way. It's super loud. It's a great speaker. The box is nice. I want to run max but don't wanna buy a new amp.

I'm running two of these monsters with a 2500 watt amp and they're in a ported single box, I've found they aren't very good at hitting the lows. Get the sealed box, trust me.
