Vela can chug surprisingly well

I played a Vela roughly 4-5 years ago when I was deciding between a Filmore and a Cali Tweed Boogie.
Shop pedaled PRS and Mesa.
Absolutely great playing guitar!

Thank you. It was a 50th birthday gift for myself. Suhr described the finish as "Tiger", but it reminds me of a sun setting over water. She plays even better than she looks.

I turned 50 this year as well and got me a Wildwood select 60's LP.Thank you. It was a 50th birthday gift for myself. Suhr described the finish as "Tiger", but it reminds me of a sun setting over water. She plays even better than she looks.
Happy birthday!

Happy 50th to you!
You must share pix of your LP.
As for me, I've owned the Suhr for a little more than 4 years, but thank you for the sentiment.

About to jam with an updated partscaster (DG style) through an HX stomp into dual FR10s.

Hey! These I often come across but then I get scared away by the following description:
“The Tone Master FR-10 features an integrated 1,000-watt power amp that delivers the volume and headroom needed for even the most demanding live performance. ”
So… any modeler can go really loud. And this one is capable of handling big live performances(?).
Can you by accident put the volume all the way up with all possible consequences (deaf, windows blasted etc.) ???
How do you tame that??
Not trying to be funny here. It’s probably a lack of knowledge around this subject.

I did turn the volume on the FR10s to max, just to see what kind of headroom was available. I tried a few different things - running just my hx stomp into them, and another option of the VP4 and a few of my Vox Valvenergy pedals. There was a good bit of volume on tap although I will say a straight up 50w-100w tube amp would annihilate them head-to-head, in most cases (not that I bought the FR10s to directly compete with my tube amps). I do think that'd be plenty loud for most applications though, and I got them not just for modeling needs but for utility purposes. Like running a mixer or keyboards for those times it makes sense. Or an acoustic. I like that they're easy to carry around too.

What? A 1000 watt is less loud than a 50-100 tube?

I'm assuming that 1000w to be peak output, not RMS (continuous). Tube amps are usually rated RMS and their frequency response is usually narrower and more efficient. So a 100W tube amp is very, very loud. The speaker(s) in the FR10 would die at 1000 RMS.
A FR system requires power to cater to more low and high frequencies than a standard guitar amp would need.
I'm no guru in speakers w/class D amps so take what I know with a grain of salt. There is a lot of literature out there and often power ratings are deceptive, not always purposely though.
