Thanks bilbo! Actually, I've got good news for you (and further disappointment for those who were looking for a crumb of comfort for the fact that I've bought this fantastic amp! ). The amp, like the HD500x, has a Master volume control which purely reduces the final output volume without affecting anything like the drive. Therefore you can actually play it at (very) low volumes while keeping a nice distorted sound.
I hadn't realised it before but I read through the (short) manuals today while we were hanging around at the dog show (yes, believe it!), and I saw it in there. I just tried it out, using the most distorted of the four suggested settings, and it works perfectly.
So you get it all - great sounds at neighbour-, wife- and dog-friendly volumes (although the dog actually likes putting the volume up and having a blast, as you can see!). And, if you happen to be a glazier, enough power to put it in the middle of the road and shatter every single window within 500 yards! *
* That may have been a slight exaggeration! |
