Brian	Re: Have I lost my mind?! As for the BFDR- Hell yes its too loud! My roomate had one of the reissues, and he had to resort to turning it down and using a tube screamer during his bar gigs. You need a very big room for even a small amp like that, unless you want everyone's ears to bleed, and no one to be able to chat with their friends.... Sometimes the audience isn't there to hear you -- rather to have a good time with some background music. Shitty I know, but it is one thing a gigging musician has to deal with! Try playing a horn in a small jazz club sometime -- its torture! As for a smaller amp -- try a princeton, or even a champ with a bigger cab! BT
