The Combo Behind the Full Stack

In one incredible rock bands to achieve such a massive sound stage? The real answer, in most cases, it may surprise you. Ages ago, one of my producers told me a story. Pete Townsend, performing in their usual high-energy way, was caught just behind the scenes at an unusual perception of the fan. No one in the congested cell can hardly miss the intimidating wall of a full crowd roaring behind the band, but one detail apparently escaped everyone except one man. He nervously approached the legend. He pointed past the guitar cord more than a full stack behind Townsend.Pojačalo was not connected to the guitar!

Now this is not an example of some who-doo magic. Nor was the grandfather of Pete Townsend Milli Vanilli.Priča ends elusive man behind the leading full-stack tower to reveal ..... Fender combo.

Fender combo? It's a secret tumultuous sound Who?

I tried to verify his story producer, even with the wonders of the internet, I could find. Here is a quote I found.

"I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and improve the type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf ."

- Pete Townsend

a good quote. This is in contrast to the point of my anecdote above the rocks, but still, it's a good quote. And since Pete has proven to be helpful, let me tell you what I know. I'm not Pete Townsend, but I know that tube amps do not sound their best until saturated.

Saturated? Now what does that mean? Before you go dunking their Traynors, let me give you a working definition for our purposes. Tube saturation is a natural distortion / overdrive (I use these terms loosely) made ​​the amounts generally above 4 or 5 years.
So for these amps sound their best so they must be turned up louder. If you have an extremely high voltage amplifier and you have to crack on Spinal Tap's "11" to get the best sound, that makes for some difficulty in live mixing department. This is why opt for one of 30 W or 50 W, after the full combo stack.Puni stack looks best, but some really like the tones that are supported by a combination of open offer as well.

Having been raised on high power, I know that this news is going against the grain of rock. It is part of a personal preference. There are millions of devout fanatics, Mesa Boogie, from which I am very isolated. I must admit, it's nice to have a little more power in open spaces. But for those of you writing off low-power amplifier simply because they do not turn off the shock of his crate, give a little thought in the first place. Louder is not always better. Think about tone quality and personality before the ball-crunchingness. Let the soundman does not interfere, and perhaps save a little to get a hearing for age.

I know Pete would agree.
