ha, upon reading that i instantly though "yeah, fender has been going up to 12 since before that joke existed".

i considered making a sneaky forum post on there but the xkcd forums make me want to hang myself. in fact most xkcd readers make me want to hang myself.

i always lol'd that the gain on my digitech rp7's drive settings went to 11. in fact, i think they do that on all their floor processors. cheeky.

I see your "Fender goes up to 12" and raise you a Peavy Vypyr......

...goes up to 13.

In 1990, Marshall released its JCM900 amp, with the knobs going to 20 (GW2), although Nigel says the company later gave him a special model that goes to infinity (complete with the infinity symbolâ€”an eight on its sideâ€”and a dial that keeps spinning around as if it were broken).

I tell someone this blurb everytime they meet my 900.

I think amps should have numbers set up just like a clock. so saying set your knobs at 12 O'clock wont be so confusing
