That's bullshit. Our old Matamps needed to be on 7 at least to get the power amp distortion moving in a nice space. That's where the sweet spot was.
Sound engineers need to realise it's their job to enable the decisions of the artists on stage, not try to control them. Baffle of shame? I'll put a baffle of shame in front of these fucking morons. If they can't see that turning a mic down is easier than buying a baffle then they've no business calling themselves sound engineers.

Lols.
Turning the amp down on stage has nothing to do with inability to turn the mic down. It's all about on-stage sound and sound clarity. Especially in smaller venues.
You turn that thing to exactly the level the engineer tells you, or you get off that stage. If you insist on bringing the 4x12 and turning the amp up to poweramp distortion without chucking in a loadbox or something... A baffle is really one of the more diplomatic ways of doing it.
IMO, YMMV etc. No hate, but the sound engineer is there for the audience, not the egos of the musicians.

I really want to play through a 4x12! So many new experiences opened up for me just from learning a bit of guitar :D
I actual terms I think a 1x12 is my limit given living in a flat. I'm keeping my eye out for a 1x12 cab around the £100 mark to go with my Orange Micro Terror. The stock 1x8 cab is pretty weedy :(
