In this excerpt from our small tube amp buyers guide video, we’re doing a quick comparison of the MESA/Boogie® Fillmore™ 25 and Fillmore 50 tube amps, which will answer the question, “Is a 25-watt tube amp louder than a 50-watt amp?” Watch this comparison between the Fillmore 25 (easily one of the best small tube amps for home use) and the mid-sized Fillmore 50 (ideal for larger gigs), where we help you with a sound comparison and volume comparison, which is perfect if you’re trying to decide between a 25-watt guitar amp and a 50-watt guitar amp! Call it a mini tube amp buying guide!
Using a decibel meter app, we measure the loudness of both amps at full volume to give you a clear idea of the difference between a 25-watt vs 50-watt amp. Despite the difference in wattage, you might be surprised to see that the Fillmore 25 holds its own against the Fillmore 50 in terms of volume.
We explain and delve into the differences in tubes and how they affect the sound, too! Listen to how the Fillmore 25, with its 6V6 tubes, tends to sag and compress naturally, making it potentially the best tube amp for home use. On the other hand, the Fillmore 50, equipped with 6L6 tubes, offers a richer low-end presence and mid-focus, making it a strong contender for the best tube amp for small to mid-size gigs.
We’ve set both amps to their maximum master volume levels so you get the full effect of the cranked tube distortion. You can hear the different tonal characteristics of each amp so you can make an informed decision on whether the 25-watt or the 50-watt amp is better suited for your playing style, where you will use your amp, and the types of stages you’re going to play.
