The Dual Showman head that I have is loud! It sounds so sweet though. Iv'e had a Mesa Heartbreaker, Peavey JSX head and the Showman sounds so much better. ok....

It's loud though and I know that I can take the 2 middle power tubes out and change the inpedence to half. Will this make it less loud? The head can operate at 100 watts or 25 watts but I know for fact that the 25 setting doesn't make it less loud. With two power tubes out and the speaker load changed it will operate at 60watts and 12 watts.

I just would like to know if anyone has done this and if it helped with the volume issue.

Thanks

Hey guitarios, can I ask you a couple of questions? Do you think the wattage selection function is not working? How many speakers are you using? Can you decrease the number of speakers when you pull the two output tubes? What I mean is that, one speaker at 12watts will certainly be a change. But a 4X12 cab at 60watts won't sound much different than 100 watts. Art

I don't know much about electrical theory so the answer is, I don't know!

I got cab that is 8ohms 2x12. I have the amp with 2 power tubes and speaker output at 4ohms.

It's loud though...but an incredible tone, it is awesome.
