Borrow a Mesa Boogie Rocket 44 1x12 combo (45 watts, tube) since I'm looking for a better amp (currently have the Randall RG75D G2 75w 1x12 combo and it's meant for cleaner styles). Volume is at 1 and seems to double at 2, louder or at least clearer than my Randall. I play "Iniquity - The Hidden Lore" and then a little of "Fall For Your Creation", neither are perfect but whatever. Don't complain about screw-ups because I am well aware of timing errors, not so great alternate picking, etc. I'm still learning.
