noun
the loudest possible amplification US
From a comic conceit in the film This Is Spinal Tap.- NIGEL TUFNEL: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and.... MARTY DIBERGI: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten? [...] MARTY DIBERGI: Does that mean it’s louder? Is it any louder? NIGEL TUFNEL: Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You’re on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you’re on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where? MARTY DIBERGI: I don’t know. NIGEL TUFNEL: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? MARTY DIBERGI: Put it up to eleven. NIGEL TUFNEL: Eleven. Exactly. One louder. — This is Spinal Tap, 1984
