it's not gonna be that low volume. a 2 watt tube amp is still very loud. about half as loud as a 20 watt amp.

i only have 2 (other)forum mates who tried the greta... they both found it sounds like s***... but i think it's a bit exaggerated... even if i didn't try it yet...

as there such a thing as a good low volume tube amp ?? , wanting to get some overdrive with out waking everybody up ... have Peavey Classic 30 right now 30 watt

Yes, it's called 'The Deacy', the most famous 1-Watt amp I know. And what tones and memories it has produced!

I still want to try a Yamaha THR10C for my home music room.
Taking gear we've used successfully on stages and in studios, and just turning it down, even with power soaks (though a bit of soak can be OK for little gigs) is never going to do it.
Louis is right, 2W is loud at home!
And I wonder if the THR also has pro-grade recording uses?I wouldn't be surprised.
The proof would be when I get back to my "real" amps, whether there's a readjustment to be made. Perhaps there won't be. I've been impressed by the musicality of Yamaha gear ever since my first encounters in the 1970s.

Is the Deacy amp available ??

I'll ck the THR out too

you can always use a pedal to get dirty tones at low volume. one great thing about my two rock is that it sound the same loud or quiet. i can practice 3 in the morning, and it sound great clean or dirty.

Impressive!
That has to be favourite option of all.

When I needed a little amp for quieter late night/early morning tone exploration and practice I just use either my vox amplug (if you want to go headphone style) or a Pignose I recently picked up.

But then again I like playing the pignose cleanish :3

haha ! two rocks are so not into the same price range, it's senseless to compare !

i don't see where i made a comparison. he said if there is such a thing as a good low volume tube amp. i was answering that question.

if i were you, i'd get an attenuator for the classic 30. tube cube is great, and it also gives you a line out. if you want power tube crunch at a low volume, that is just about the only way to go.

you can attenuator by it self ??...... sure sounds like what I want .......

edit ..... I found some ebay , is there a particular brand to get or stay away from ??

thanks, Eric

my favorite is the tube cube. it can handle several different impedances. the hot plate is popular, but i don't like it, it overheats, and you have to buy a different one for each impedance.
