Is this amp too loud for a practice amp in the home?

It's like the perfect practice amp. Great sound at low levels, but maintains the quality at high levels too if you want to jam out.

I with Jill, spend a few hundred on a modern amp and you'll be happy. I'm running an older Yamaha amp that I spent a few hundred on about 5 years ago and it will turn up very loud. If you are looking for BOOM in your system buy one of the BIC 12" powered subwoofers as well. In my opinion a powered subwoofer is a must.

the clean channel sounds really good. I was happy with the distortion channel once I got the knack of dialing tones in. The amp is pretty loud alone. If you are using processor like Digitech or whatever, it really increases the volume. I no longer use this amp, it was just too loud for my needs, so I downsized to a 15 watt Marshall MG15CFX. I'll get around to reviewing that one of these days.

Pretty loud. You could definitely gig out solo or have enough sound to keep up at a practice with a full band (if they weren't turned up all the way). Surprisingly loud.

If you are not expecting a hard hitting sound it will do the job. But if you want something that hits really hard and dose a great job you need a bigger better amp. So to answer your questions it depends on the quality you want.

I think that this would be a good amp. It gets pretty loud, and seems to have decent sound. We've only used it with a theremin though...

With ease. It should sound pretty good too. It's a little powerhouse of an amp actually.

The amp is very quiet, there is no hum, I must iterate that all cables have to be the right resistance value on any amplifier no matter what brand you use just to make sure that all hum causing factors are eliminated.This amp will serve you fine and for the price I don,t think you will match it anywhere>

Yes its pretty dang loud I just turn it up a quarter of the way and my walls are shaking and my neighbors complained right away when I turned it up halfway. So it would be perfect for band

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. It's a simple preamp at a bargain price. Professional audio refers to Stage, or Studio equipment, most of which is not up to home audio standards. I have it in my computer room connecting a cd player to a small power amp. Not an audiophile unit by any means, but fine for casual listening. I have a large multi-amp home theater & 2-channel monoblock audio system for the living room.

there is some static noise yes..as with many amps...but if it is minimal when playing..you are good. If not, I would contact the seller.

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!

This amp sounds great but for heavier stuff (like Metallica) you'll want to get a distortion pedal. Most of the stuff I play is rock, blues, and some country - this amp is perfect for what I use it for. The built in effects are pretty ok but if you want reverb and, say, chorus then you're outta luck since you can only use one at a time. Mostly just play it with some overdrive and reverb. For a little practice amp this thing screams. Crank up the gain and the volume and you're sure to piss off your neighbors. If you need it louder for a gig, stick a mic in front of it and plug it in to the PA.

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

I advice that you check the sound before you buy a case. It is really a cheap, low quality amp. I returned mine for a refund

No,I don't think it's a good amp at all,lots of feedback, not a lot of power, you need to go bigger or better.
