Blues Deluxe with the volume set on "6"?

Cheesebox-sized apartment with paper-thin party walls?

5751 around less gain, #2 half gain, more usable in a house for sure ! Everything is possible 8)
However the 7ender default configuration makes this amp very loud that my experience even if I use it at home and I like it and won't change (may be a 57 deluxe)
Sorry to get you upset :wink:


Not upset. Just tired of people saying that the BDRI can't be used in a home situation without resorting to an attenuator. Judicious selection of tubes and pedals makes it a great amp for use at home.

BTW, I own a single family home. :D

I get it perfectly well, Arjay.

Unless you have played through a BDRI configured the way I have mine configured you have no idea how quietly it can play when needed and how loudly it can be played when I want to. 8)

I Say Buy The Amp That Weighs 80lbs And Set It Low. That Way If Someone Tries To Burn It It Takes Two Or Three People. Lol

I'm sure that the OP, who may lack your alleged acumen and expertise, will be thrilled to learn this.

Why are you being such a jerk about this? I don't really care what the OP does or what you think. I offered my opinion to the loudness question and explained what I have done. Read some of my other posts where I have detailed what I have done to make my BDRI useable in a home setting. On second thought, don't waste your time because I doubt you would "get it". I thought you were a pretty cool guy with an open mind about things. I appear to have been sorely mistaken.

Patently obvious.

You prefer tooting your own horn to actually helping this fellow out.

Nice......

Explaining how one can get the best out of an amplifier is tooting my own horn? Wow. I never realized that. Thanks for opening my eyes to that "fact".

Mr. OP: Please ignore all my posts in this thread.

Ah yes.. RIP Ronnie James Dio - a vocalist that will keep even Gary Moore on his toes..

Good luck on the Amp in an appartment dliemma - my Vox AC4TV is never far from my side when I'm in a confined space. I've noticed that the group of people with pitchforks and flaming torches don't stand outside my house anymore.

But good call on the guys who mentioned pedals. A good overdrive is your best friend when you absolutely have to use a big amp in a small room..
