When i started a 15watt carlsboro combo was my amp.
Prospect of 200watts of trace Elliott and I'd have been frothing at the mouth with excitement.
Nowadays we talk 500watt heads like its totally normal. Has something changed?

Watts have become devalued. I suspect that the clean level I can generate from my old Acoustic 170 or a 90s Trace, even through modern cabs, far exceeds moder class D amps. As for a Bassman 135 or big Marshall... Or Orange...
