Can someone clear this up for me?
The SLA-2 in normal stereo operation is rated at 200W per channel. I am aware that in terms of volume this is only a few decibels louder than my 100W amp would be at full tilt. However, I need the Art's volume control up around half way to simulate the output I get from my amp on volume 1-2! (I have my Axe FX output level at 3 o' clock. Maybe my patch levels are too quiet.) Anyway, the impression I get is that the Art isn't as "loud" as a 100W amp (although I haven't tried to play it flat out with all the levels up). I guess my question is: Is the Art's "loudness" equivalent to a valve amp on a per wattage basis? And is the volume control likely to have the same taper to a valve amp or a more linear one?
