anyone own a half-stack?
i've always wanted one - i'd really like to own one so i actually have the possibility of jamming with a group someday.
the Carvin V3 has always looked interesting to me, it's also insanely cheap for the head/cab combo.
so how loud are they? is it overkill for bedroom jamming?

A half-stack is way overkill for bedroom use if you're renting in a multi-unit building. Better off getting something small unless you have a dedicated practice space, or live somewhere without neighbors/landlords

its not over kill because it can be used in all situations, whatever you get make sure it sounds good at low volume ie the carvin you mention is a class act. combined possibly with an attenuator to ensure bedroom level intensity

Marshall JCM 800 2203 on a 4x12 cab
but I mostly use practice amps in the bedroom, save said in the library room dealie down stairs for jamming and such
if I ended up playing live again, I'd just use whatever they have at the club with my pedals, pedals and such can get you really far these days

Re: anyone own a half-stack?
really killer metal or rock sounds at home can be achieved with low wattage single channel tube amps combined with pedals or some sort of processor
a low wattage tube amp combined with pedals and such, you can get tons and tons of different sounds

I know this rich, spoiled duder that would bring a head and cab to clubs and his first guitar was a high end PRS. Needless to say, he got bored with guitars after about a year or so and now frequents rave clubs that endlessly plays that dubstep nonsense and snorts line after line of coke.
