JTUK Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1426072098' post='2713966'] But not as much volume as the spec would suggest ;-) [/quote] pretty good...!! FWIW, I've played a 750 and it put the volume out there... and who can tell what such and such watts really is supposed to mean. All I ask is is it loud enough in that regard? I was less convinced with the sound when I went back to try it again, tho.. so I lost interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinB Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 For the final 7 years of my teaching career I taught in a girl's school, and they would tell me about the harassment that they would get from men..... and it made me ashamed for my sex! 13 year old girls should be able to sit at Reading train station at midday without a middle-aged man sitting next to them and asking "d'you want to play hunt the sausage?" This sort of abuse was regular! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that the ban is due to some behaviour that's not obvious via their posts, otherwise it would seem a rather heavy-handed reaction from the mods!

davehux Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Shall we draw a line under this thread now? The OP has sorted the problem with her finger operated control devices and we've strayed well away from Amp & Cabs and firmly into Off Topic. Feel free to continue in there if you wish Cheers Dave Edited March 12, 2015 by davehux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
