Speaking of Tweed Deluxes...I use "my" Handmade Tweed "Agape Tweed" amplifiers; ALPHA & OMEGA (my Company) basically it's a pumped up version of the Western Electric circuitry of a '55 Deluxe with 2 - 6L6's running in "Class A" configuration, working a Weber 12" AlNiCo (35watt capacity)speaker. My 320 absolutely RULES the tone and audio spectrum! And I don't need 2 roadies to carry the equipment!
The loudest band I ever saw was Ten Years after at The Boston Tea party in 1969, I was in the third row, they had piles of Marshalls, with all the lights on. I couldn't hear for 4 hours after, Th Stooges opened for them, they weren't soft either. It was also the first pro concert I had ever been to. Alvin Lee startd the night with a soft Chuck Berry riff alone, when the band hit and I mean hit!, they would have blown me out of my seat if there had been any. I loved it. I remember watching the local bands when I was a kid, the Fenders and Ampegs ruled, B-15's, bassmans, Bandmasters, and Dual Showmans, then came the Kustoms and Voxes (mostly Super Beatles in my area) then the Ampegs and Marshalls. SVT's V4's, Marshall Major's and the little ones, the 100 watt Marshall heads, none of these had master volumes either, yeah the younger guys don't know what it like to hear rock n roll played the way it was meant to be played. I used to love walking into a club and feeling the bass shaking the floors, you could hear it a block away, it was great.
IMHO old pre master volume 100 watt Marshalls are the best sounding rock guitar amps by far, they sound very different from the new ones. I'm a little younger than some of you guys, I started playing during the late 60's but came of age during the 70's (playing wise).
I've heard that Dick Dale is deafening,LOL, with those Dual showmans, and that you can't hear the bass with the Dual showmans, you'de need about ten for the bass to keep up with his guitar.
