Consider that a Fender Champ is 4 watts, and if it's CRANKED, is actually quite loud (louder than you can use in an apartment, certainly). Exactly how loud it is depends on speaker efficiency. Most guitar type speakers are typically 95dB @ 1W/1M. 10dB less than that would take 1/10th the power, so .1W in that speaker would be 85dB (at 1 meter). _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
