And how loud does it need be to sound good?

it is very very loud. to get a good solid "cranked tube amp" sound, the orange must be at about 3:00 on the volume control. but at 3 o' clock it is already way too loud for band situations. it starts breaking up at around 12 o' clock, so i usually play it at around 10 o'clock and use a pedal for overdrive. even then i drown the second guitar in the mix because this thing moves so much air. it just sounds huge.

im talking about non-master volume OR120s, obviously with a master volume control you can get the tone at lower volumes.
1971 OR120 (Plexi Panel, Big Pix Only)
1994 Fender Jaguar (Seymour Duncan Humbuckers, Gibson Nashville Bridge)
2002 PPC412 (British V30s)

As loud as possible, the louder you can the best it sounds. I play it on 90% of volume
