Exactly, and after a certain point, it in fact starts to sound like shit and nothing can be done to remedy (other than turn it back down). There is definitely a thing called too loud and I think it's when one's ears themselves start distorting. I used to play in a bar band and I was the lone, and ignored, voice to turn it &^$% down. Everyone cranked it so high, I had to be in the ball park to match. I remember one night my guitar was so loud I couldn't tell the tones well enough to tune the thing. That's when I realized I should quit. -Tom -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
