Hey, I noticed the other day that if I'm playing through the headphones in standby, if I turn my overdrive pedal up too much, the speaker will start popping during loud notes, like the signal is getting through to the power section of the amp. Is this some protection thing or an issue? Pretty regula...

Honestly a 1W amp is plenty without a drummer. The 5 watt'er can keep up with a moderate drummer and bassist, but gets wa...
