GtrGear said:A European 1.2 liter bi-turbo engine is way faster than an average USA V8 engine.
Cubic inches (read: quantity of powertubes) is not telling you everything.
I guess in my case the RT2:50 is more efficient. I've tried El34, KT66, 6550 etc...
b.t.w. I run my 2:100 exclusive in modern mode and I love headroom.
Bottomline is don't judge the volume on the quantity of powertubes.
Theres just a very good chance your volume control peaks a lot earlier than your Mesa, hence the illusion it's a louder sounding amp, this was a trick Marshall used to use back in the early days, but after a certain point not much more happens, try it!
But i was never trying to use numbers against numbers, but seriously, there is also a point where say a 6v6 is not going to be louder than 100 KT88's is there?
Apart from the fact that your 1.2L turbo wanna be fast car is going to **** out at 100km/h were the V8 will just keep going! (which is the same thing with these poweramps)
But good analogy though!
