How loud is a 64 Vibroverb at around 6-7? Is it dirty at that point or is the amp still semi-clean? Given that the speaker is a D-130F

Hoping Arjay will chime in..

At those numbers, pretty damn loud. Especially if pushed with a boost pedal such as a Fulltone OCD......about like a dimed Vibrolux Reverb. The tone of the amp (unboosted) will be just beyond the cusp of full overdrive, with warm compression and organic harmonics. Hit it with a stompbox and you'll be enjoying the fully saturated vibe that makes the Vibroverb so appealing. A lesser speaker such as Jensen's C15N or Oxford's 15M2 will add some breakup to the mix but with a concurrent loss of high-end harmonics and overall punch.
