Second, the more headroom you have, the worse your amp will sound at low volumes. It simply pushes the desirable dynamic range into unacceptable volume levels. Trust me, the Faustian pursuit of loudness is unbecoming to serious musicians.

I have never had troubles competing with a drummer, and all I use is an AC30.
Oh I mean just the head for now and then later on I could get a Cabinet for it if I ever chose to as far as portability goes. The amp head is pretty small sized and 27 pounds. How low (in volume) would the amp have to be for it to hinder my sound quality? Because I wouldn't be using this amp for recording by any means.
