I was gonna say, you're pretty damn close, distance-wise, to a 100-watt amp that sounds like that. But then again, I have this memory where I was at your place in Reseda, and you had something cranked inside a room, and I had to walk out.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I remember that. It was the Laney GH100L with the master on 7 :lol:

"Master on 7" -- Tell us, Billy: How much ringing and humming do you hear in an empty, quiet room? Jesus. Lol

It's funny, I had my hearing checked a few months (by a doctor not online tests lol) and it's normal. I think I have a high tolerance for volume.

My vision on the other hand :( got prescribed glasses for the first time this year

You didn't flinch when we were at your studio in Baltimore :lol:

And you had all the amps loud that day

Those 90's Laney amps are fucking loud too :lol:

I used to run both a GH100S and an AOR at unreasonable volumes. Good times. Unless you're in the tree indie band who were in the next rehearsal room to us :lol:

:lol:

My first good amp was an AOR 100 I bought in 1988. I really liked that amp. I need to buy another some day.

What's your feeling on Series 1 vs Series 2? I had a 50 watt of each. I would like to try the 6 knob at some point, but I won't work too hard to track one down.

I haven't played the 100 watt version of any.

Very little difference IMHO. The Series II has a proper loop while the Series I has an passive insert between the pre and power sections. But in terms of tone, they are pretty much the same. And the 6-knob is not that different either, just slightly less gain. They're all great sounding amps.

Yeah I think the reason I felt a bigger difference between the S1 and S2 is because of the cabs I was using. With the Series 1 I was running my Greenback loaded H&K cab I've had a long time, and with the Series 2 I was running it with the matching Laney cab with G12M70s.
