Am I Ever Using All of My Watts?

[dexplosion]

Normally you set up the preamp gain...

...As you can see from this example 10 - 100 W is already plenty.

Cool. Thanks for explaining. I feel I have a firm grasp of this now.

True, but most 500w cabs will also fart out at 250 watts or less. In use the average output of most amps is usually no more than 1/4 what the user thinks it is.

Ampeg 410 He....Perfect example...

If you use Rollover Watts any of your unused watts will be available to use at next month's gigs.
