I&#8217;m using a 120 Watt head, running at 60 Watts, and it is very loud! \u00a0Even on-stage I&#8217;m only running the master volume at around 2-3 and it&#8217;s loud enough to hear over the band. \u00a0So I decided that 40 Watts is more than enough for me, and ordered a Street Rod head.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As it is a custom made amp, the build and delivery time is anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks. \u00a0The great thing about it being a custom amp, is that things like the colour scheme are very customisable. \u00a0I&#8217;ve decided on a basic black\/silver layout. \u00a0Black Levant, silver control panel, black chickenhead knobs, silver piping and black grill cloth on the front. \u00a0It should all look very nice matched up with my Mesa Recto cab [superemotions
