Been reading here for a while, and I'm trying to match what I read, with what I hear and do. I'm struggling with the 'just too damn loud' factor with fender twins. I'm basically running at half power with just two power tubes... And in practice this is set to a volume of 3-4, and live maybe getting to 6. And that's all without mic'ing the amps. Obviously I'm not playing stadiums, but 100-200 person rooms (normally concrete with a high ceiling).
What I'm wondering is how you guys are managing with these huge Mac amps? I was thinking about grabbing a mc-50, but read where many see them as too small. Is there a disconnect between the watt rating of macs and twins? What am I missing here?

) we want the bass very predominate and loud so you feel it in your chest and feet, so the rest of us have to be very, very loud as well. If we are doing it right, (which as you know takes a lot of work) we get great seperation and clarity of instruments. It has a lot to do with the spaces in between the notes and phrases. From very, very loud to 0 volume (in an instant) between notes and spaces between notes has a much more dramatic result.
