Because I haven’t had a “poll” here in a while, today’s question is how much is enough when we count the power of an amp for a “regular” rehearsal room?

Let’s define the conditions: regular rehearsal room, let’s say 7-8m long, 7-8 m wide, regular height, I guess, about 2.45 m(?) and a “regular” band, something like drums, bass, 1 guitar, 1 keyboard, 1-2 microphones.

So, considering these conditions(that you may adjust to fit your “regular” image of a rehearsal room/band), how much would you consider it would be enough for a guitar amp? Would 75 watts do it? Or do you need 100 watts? Or 50 watts will do the trick also?

Keep in mind I speak here about distinguishing your guitar from the rest, in a “constructive” way, not making as much noise as possible so nobody else could be heard beside you…

Also, would the same wattage work for the bass amp too, or is it different?

How about for a 2 guitars band, does it change anything? What other parameters should be considered? Walls type? Drummer madness? Music style? Amp type? Number of speakers? Types of speakers? What else?

Let me hear you!
