It's great to be able to play loud when necessary.  Funny you should say 
something like this.  I played out the other night.  The guitar players 
kept on turning up . . . well you all know this story, right?  The next 
morning I took the cover off my Sonny Jr. II to make sure everything was 
all right (and because I just loving looking at it) and saw the volume 
knob between 8 and 9.  Actually I'd never pushed it like that before. 
Not a squeal to be heard.  The tone was great and the amp cut like a 
mother.  The only problem was that my ears hurt for days.  Guess I'll 
have to explain about dynamics to guitar players next time.

What is it about guitar players amps?  The volume control starts at 6 
and only seem to work in one direction. ;-)

:-)  That makes the rocktron a bargain at any price.  Think I'll get me 
several.  I've been married a long time.  My wife's learned to duck.
