Turning everything up is one thing when everyone is away at work or school , but forcing them out of the house because you repeatedly play “ Free Bird ” at full blast is not very considerate . On the other hand , playing at a reasonable volume may actually be inviting to your kin , and as they gather around you to be mesmerized by your skills , the family band may finally come together , and you can start planning the world tour . Living with sleeping children and spouses with a low tolerance for distortion doesn ’ t mean you can ’ t enjoy visceral amplifier breakup — a tiny amp in the corner of your practice room will work just fine . On the low end of the price scale , something like the Vox AC4TV mini will work great , and if you ’ re a corksniffer , try the Carr Mercury , which can be attenuated down to a tenth of a watt . Everybody wins !
family happiness
Call me old-fashioned , but I don ’ t think the way to show others you love them is by making them go deaf .
