Watts and loudness question (I'm sorry)

[echoraven]

10X power will equal twice as loud... Though you probably shouldn't be shooting for twice as loud.

Tried some things last night

First
Ran My noisemaker Retro into the Behringer DI400P Ultra DI and Into a Fender 1x12
Noise at first,
Realized I had run the first cable to the DI using a patch cable
Switched it to a speaker cable
Sounded great
So the parallel out works like I thought
Connected an XLR cable to the DI out and into my RMS acoustic amp
Worked great
Tons of volume
Also worked great with my carvin Acoustic Combo
retro is only 1/2 watt
so I switched the setup to my 15watt marshall head
Also worked well
Tried using the drive on the marshall and got marshall tones out of my carvin
at HUGE volume
pretty cool

Also tried running it with a XLR to 1/4 adapter into my Univox
Sounded Good
Univox added more color than the other amps (makes sense)
and there was a slight buzz
no more than a normal peavey

as an observation
the volume of the 2nd amp was always a bit louder because it was hard to dial in a balanced tone as you turn up the first amp the second gets hit harder so you have to dial it back
I don't think you care about balancing as much as getting the orange tones out of the peavey,
for about 25 bucks I think you could do it now without much headache

That's amazing. Thanks for all the testing! I'm excited to try it out
