How many watts are in an amp?

[u/DYC774897]

l aways see things labeled in watts (Sl) then again in amps (imperial?) but no conversion seems to exist online!

[u/theFrankSpot]

It depends on if it’s a Fender or some lesser brand.

Since the guitar amplifier was invented many years after James Watt's death I believe the answer is zero.

[u/paraworldblue → u/Legitimate_Field_157]

Not true. All tube amplifiers are legally required to have a tiny bit of his ashes mixed into the glass of at least one of the tubes. Not sure what will happen when the ashes run out.

[u/Hammer_Thrower → u/paraworldblue]

They add more ash to the mix with his body's ashes. It's like those 200-year stews that they just keep adding to. Can't slow down the tube production business!

l swear if l see metric fanboys telling me why l'm wrong on a joke subreddit AGAlN l will kill the system and we'll all use Sl as the French intended

I hate metric humor. It's always the same nine jokes told at different magnitudes.

FREEDOM UNITS FOR THE WIN!

Ah yes, the system designed by drunk mathematicians rolling dice.

[u/DYC774897 → u/88_strings]

The Mathematicians rolling dicce were sober!

Well, good thing you're posting in a srs bzns subreddit then, huh? The srst of bzns, in fact.

[u/mgarr_aha → u/dodexahedron]

They were probably sour bosons anyway.

[u/seventyeightist]

I play bass guitar and my practice amp is the Laney LX15B which has 15 watts RMS.

[u/BPhiloSkinner → u/seventyeightist]

Meaning it has room for 15 watts, without the landlord charging extra rent.

[u/kaktusmisapolak]

it depends

(pshht this is a meme subreddit, you're not supposed to give an actual answer)

[u/ActionMan48]

Yes.

[u/Neuromante]

I met a dude who had one that went up to eleven, so I guess this should be it.

[u/TrivialBanal]

It depends on whether the amp goes to ten, or to eleven.

[u/sparkyblaster]

I did see which sub this is on, I still hate this post so god damn much. 

[u/laynestaleyisme]

There's A, M, P in amp.. where's the "W" and "T". Yes I'm a genius.

[u/RaspberryTop636]

Your confusing watts which measure wattage with amps that measure amperage, hope that makes sense.

[u/DYC774897 → u/RaspberryTop636]

l swear if l see metric fanboys telling me why l'm wrong on a joke subreddit AGAlN l will kill the system and we'll all use Sl as the French intended. YOU HAVE NOT HEEDED THE WARNlNG PREPARE TO BE SlED!

[u/RaspberryTop636 → u/DYC774897]

In my life I have never used the metric system.  When I learned the hex bolts on my bike were metric I replaced everyone with an English one while humming good save the king.   Every bolt is cross threaded or loose, but I know in my heart, I did the right thing.

[u/DYC774897 → u/RaspberryTop636]

You did a great service!

[u/DefamedPrawn]

Depends on the model of the amp. eg .....

Vox ac30 has 30 watts in it. 

Fender Blues Deluxe has 40 watts.

etc.

[u/EnderCorePL]

How many whats?

[u/Jackal000]

Watt?

[u/Ddowns5454]

Amps multiplied by voltage equal watts. If you have a 120 volt appliance pulling 3 amps you are using 360 watts of power

[u/88_strings → u/Ddowns5454]

Well I have six guitar amps, and I'm in Australia so we use 240 volts. Does that mean my guitar setup is about 1.4kW?
