Man, we're being dicks.

Try the power tubes. That may help a little bit. It'll break up sooner. Just remember the ohms thing and stuff.

Pulling tubes will only drop it a few dB, hardly noticeable IMO. Get a quality attenuator.

All in good fun boys. I'd love to dime it and call it a day but in a live band situation it won't work. I use an Emperor 2x12 1x15. 12s are swamp thangs 15 is a big ben.

Would probably be easier to just get a normal attenuator. Unless you plan on having it set at the same volume level all the time it'd be a bitch to have to adjust when needed.

Why don't you trade it to me for my Rocker 30 head? You'll get less volume and whatnot and I can crank the piss out of it. Win/win!

All dickery aside, your bros are trying to tell you you can't. Getting the most out of it means exactly being too loud.
An attenuator will do it but ultimately you're just not using the right tool for the job.

You could do that but if you like closed back cabs you'd then be compromising your sound further for a problem that he could avoid by getting an amp that is more suitable to his volume needs. Just seems like a whole lot of corner cutting for no reason when he could sell the OR120 and purchase something that suits his needs and doesn't need to buy wacky speakers for.

This is great advice. I'm going to continue to dial it in and play it loud.
