The volume on this amp is ridiculous, I keep mine on 1 or less in the house its that loud!!!

1/2 of 1 volume out of 10 is already loud enough, so there is no loudness problem here.

So when im in a metal mood i use a BOSS metal zone pedal on a clean BUTCHER seting and no unwated noise even at loud volumes

Also, turn the volume all the way down before turning it on, or the feedback will shake your fillings out.
