The only response I can give is this bit of paraphrased dialogue from
the greatest rock-n-roll movie ever made: "This is Spinal Tap"
"The really great thing about this one is that it goes to eleven. You
know when you're playing and playing and you want to get it just that
bit louder but you're already at ten on a normal amp, what are you going
to do? You know, you're just stuck with no where to go. But with this
one you can go to eleven."
"Why don't you just make ten louder?"
"But this one goes to eleven."
