"This is a top to what we use on stage, but it's very, very special because, if you can see, the numbers all go to 11. Look, right across the board: 11, 11, 11." Marty: "And most amps go up to 10." Nigel: "Exactly." Marty: "Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?" Nigel: "Well, it's one louder, isn't it?" This exchange has become so embedded in the mythology of rock that the number 11 now has a separate and instantly accessible meaning. Eddie Van Halen is reputed to be the first rock guitarist to have been inspired by Spinal Tap and request a customised amp with dials going up to 11. Christopher Guest speaks in his commentary for the special laser disc edition of the film of how he has worked with the hi-fi company since the time of the film's production: "Marshall made a special plate for me that went up to 11. Subsequently they have done some ads with me, and now the new amp that they made for me actually goes up to infinity on the dial. They made a real amp that goes up to 20. That's the one that people can buy in the stores now for real. But mine goes up to infinity. This has been ripped off big time. Almost every amp company now sells knobs that go up to 11." "
