Is the 18 at runoffgroove.com 18 watts?

[MattAnonymous]

How many watts does this put out?

[Travis]

Not 18 Watts.  It's a distortion/booster, not an amp.  Done properly, it should cop the tone of an 18 Watt Marshall.

[MattAnonymous]

Gotcha.  What amp did they use to make the sound samples?

[Brian Marshall]

if you plugged it in to 400 volts it would probably get to about 18 watts.........................  for about 3 nano-seconds.

then fireworks.

[MattAnonymous]

Yeah I took a look at the schem and feel stupid for asking that now.

[Brian Marshall]

at 9 volts that would requre some really you would have to have a 1/2 ohm output impedance.  I dont know of anything that will do that that isnt straight power  certainly not fets.

The battery would probably explode anyways.

From runoffgroove, next to the links where you D/L'ed the clips:


Eighteen

Clip 1 (386k) - mp3
Clip 2 (323k) - mp3

Clip 1: Dual HB guitar - Eighteen: Volume 100%, Tone 50% - Randall SS amp - mic - sound card - software reverb

Clip 2: (left channel) pretty guitar (bridge pickup) - Eighteen: Volume 60%, Tone 75%
(right channel) proto guitar (bridge pickup) - Eighteen: Volume 100%, Tone 75%
cab sim - software reverb

Brian went direct, I used an old Ozite covered Randall RG-35 combo with a 12" Jaguar speaker.  The mic was an old Audio Technica of unknown model number.  The mic was placed perpindicular to the speaker and right at the cone's edge.  The amp was totally clean and the volume was set around 10:00.
