Carvin wattage

[Philboski]

I have noticed on the Carvin site, they say some of their amps can be run at 100/50/25 watts. Has anyone ever taken one down to 25 watts? How did the amp sound? What else did this do, aside from cutting volume?

I've never really messed with the Carvin amps specifically, but I usually find that this has a very small effect on the overall volume of the amp. It usually just allows it to break up a little sooner and generally have a looser tone. In some cases it'll affect the class of operation but a lot of that is just marketing hype.
