A Whale of an Amp
I had been counting down the months until December since last January. For the longest time I had wanted a new amp for my guitar more than anything. Finally, it was November - just one month until December. With December comes Christmas, which is when I was anticipating a new amp to be sitting under the Christmas tree.
I was on the prowl for a new amp on the internet one day when I saw it. It was beautiful, it was great, it was just what I had been looking for. It was the Vox Valvetronix AD100VT 100w 2x12 Guitar Combo Amp. Despite the gratuitously long name, I have still neglected to find a nickname for it; but for now I’ll call it Beverly. In an instant, I took advantage of this craigslist offer and bought the amp. The only problem was - it was only the beginning of December. My parents were hesitant about letting my buy such a mammoth item so early in the month of December, but with my great persuasion skills, they gave in.
Beverly was truly a beast. Packing 100 watts (thats a lot) and an all tube sound (that adds to the wattage) Beverly could potentially defeat a small army single-handedly. One afternoon I decided to put Beverly to the test and see how loud I could make it without my ears starting to bleed. I lasted until the knob for the master volume was at about one quarter of the way turned up.
The way I see it is this -
-halfway it will give women and children concussions.
-five-eights of the way will make old people poop their pants.
-three-fourths of the way it will be deadly to most forms of life.
-all the way will be able to take out a small army in one swift motion.
