Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

ChanFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“Up to eleven,” also phrased as “these go to eleven,” is an idiom from popular culture, coined in the movie This Is Spinal Tap, where guitarist Nigel Tufnel proudly demonstrates an amplifier whose volume knob is marked from zero to eleven, instead of the usual zero to ten.
The 11 markings just seem to be marketing nonsense.

oldgearheadYeah - what I posted is the direct quote from the movie when Nigel shows off that particular feature from his amplifiers.
