Distortion usually is the function of processing the signal, however. But it can come from bumping the gain so much you cut up the signal itself.

Hmm. So, all in all, what would you say sounds better?
Cause, believe it or not my small Crate has more bass than the Marshall I own, double it's size.
So i don't know if it's the Gain that causes that. I get two channels on it with no etxra features and on the marshall, where I do have some extras, the distortion just sounds ear-ritating.

Alot of times we'll get together and split the signal between the two amps. My god do we get the best guitar tone ever heard with the two of them together. Each one fills in the holes left by the other. Its fucking bliss man. Two of the best amps ever made together in one room. Sick shit. I dont know if you've ever gotten to play through multiple amps, but its the best feeling in the world.

Yeah, I i don't think I'll be playing any 200 watt/2000 $ amps just yet. Do you think the Peavy I linked in my other post is a kickass though?
