A sound man likes nothing more than players who understand how to use a master volume control. When I see a player who only knows how to slide everything to 11 in one sweeping motion... That is a rookie and he will get a lesson from me on the first gig.


I only ever do that with ONE amp of mine, and that's because it's 5 watts and only has one knob.

As a sound guy myself, I fully agree with you. Usually I'm using either my Kustom or my Rivera, both are around 50w, and both get the master up to maybe 2-3 (depending on the drummer).
