Weird custom amp mod idea

My band plays this one song, Old Wounds by PUP, and it's really loud and aggressive. But we're all playing with oversized bedroom amps, and can only go so loud. So what if I found a way to mod my amp so it literally had an "11" position on the knob, which would be just an all-out everything boost? No tone alteration at all. Possible?

what you don't understand about electronics is, well, all of it... just buy a professional amp, dude

that's true. i understand NOTHING. that's why I asked. ok.

Sadly, this is your answer.

I wasn't trying to be nasty.... its just, hey why not read a basic book before you ask questions? if it doesn't give you enough info to be able to solve your own problems then you will at least know what you want to ask instead of just pissing in the wind....they say there are nos tupid questions, but I feel like asking the wrong questions is on the stupid side of the questioning spectrum... asking questions thata re meaningless will get you uninformative answers.... getting a little informed on your own (we have the INTERNET for god's sakes) and formulating meaningful questions is the way to go here (and in every situation where you are completely in the dark ona topic)

you're not going to boost a power amplifier beyond the capabilities of its components running off your amps particular power supply.... again, get a bigger amp that will work for most of your needs below 10 (unless its a tweed fender, then it'll go to 12, but a watt of power is a watt of power regardless of what's on the faceplate), turn it up and then roll your guitar volume down a couple notches for most of your set until you need full power, then roll back up.... alternately, replace your stock speaker with a more efficient model. Speakers translate potential power (wattage) into sound pressure. Efficiency or sensitivity is rated in decibels and the curve is lorarithmic so a 101 dB speaker trsnalted wattage about twice as effectively as a 98dB speaker, effectively dounling the sound pressure from those watts allowing you to get more volume out of them in a given airspace. So get a very efficient guitar speaker, then you can 'go up to 10' when you need that extra volume using the guitar volume control method I just suggested. Or if you want to boost a dirt pedal up too try putting a clean boost after it. Any old thing will do feeding a solid state amp... which I assume is what you're dealing with.

You're probably never going tog et an uncolored boost in volume at any point in your chain.... something always reacts a little differently when goosing your elvel up electronically but you can get lose if you're careful. The key is having enough headroom from your amp and speakers. Get a bigger amp or get more efficient speakers or whatever, then you can 'go to 11' alld ay like Nigel.

a little off track. just had a Krank Nineteen80 Jr pop up on my radar. Hailed as their 25w take on a modded JCM800.... Is this maybe what I need to look at?

the 1980 models are the only decent sounding Krank amps... they sound great, really. Very much an 800 but with some more gain at the top of the knob if you want it.... and they have that extra voicing knob that can help you get into 900 and Soldano territory when using the additional gain if you are into that kinda thing... I have tried both the 50 watt and 25 watt and almost bought the 25 (I kidna wish I HAD bought it, but I ahd just bought a buncha shit that month and couldn't imagine my justification to the wife).... I haven't seen one of them for years, but they sound nice, very 80s rock and right up your alley.

I am not sold on Krank build quality, but the horror stories I heard back in the day from Krank owners were for the bigger, more complex channel switchers and I suspect that the simplicity of the 1980 design will make them reliable.

how much is the seller asking?

Saw that one sold for $450AUD a couple years back. that is crazy prices.

well the build quality is not up to 80s Marshalls tandards, its going to be a chintzier PCB like what amrshall sticks in the JCM2000s.... with a Marshall you are paying extra for the Marshall name too.... and also krank had some bad press before they went udner. It wasn't to do with their products but with their business practices. I cannot remember what had people up in arms against them but I am pretty sure that whatever it was caused Brendan small to kick them off of Metalocalypse and go back to his 800 2203 and court marshall for the Dethklok endorsement LOL

so kranks just don't sell for a lot.

if you see a 1980, get it! and the OP? maybe your 2 guitarists should look at the Krank 1980 or 1980 jr? they don't make 'em anymore but they're around apparently and they will do what you want.
