Features (7/10)

Come on, a shot tlachat ... What is so ???

The only product Marshall useful!

This is a volume reducer in power amp output.
A between two outputs (8 and 16 ohms). A knob from 0 -33 dB. But it is mono.

Using (10/10)

Use of simpler and more videntes!
This small boiboite (4kg all the same) connects between the speaker output of an amp and HP (or cabinet) himself, and helps push the volume of the amp for donf a wonderful natural compression or a crunch of the power amp, without ruining the eardrum, since reduces the volume after the amp (is that clear?). It transforms electrical energy ... (?) ... HP heat output ... ... but we do not feel.

Sonorits (7/10)

Fabulous when you have a 100 watt amp 9m in his studio and neighbors ... old!
It was almost the sound of death that is paid in repeats without the volume! It could color the sound. Certainly. Like any powersoak my view, since dj HP do not work like they grate a full charge. But not go wrong!

I had found really compelling about the section of a JCM900 molassonne low volume, has had some woke up the bousin (and upstream, it rcuprait a Engl 530). In short, this is the only time when this amp Tone but I digress.

Overall Opinion (7/10)

Simply indispensable when you have a tube amp that is expressed only when the master is background.

The problem, thank you Marshall, is that it is mono. So if you have a stro amp, must buy 2 ... and not far from the track ... 400 (200 in secondhand approximately).

But frankly, pushing his amp (lamps, huh!) 8 and not have ears bleeding, was well worth the small concessions, right?

Small 7/13/03 addition: since the power tubes working full throttle, it lcheront faster than if you play low volume without the Power Brake. And we did not sound 100% rpt '/ live, as HP, themselves, they do not work a lot. But good, conomise the bowls. And we have something for nothing!

Added 21/07/04: I come out of the closet this notice demand some nice nostalgic Afiens
Incidentally, I am dbarrass me when I finally had a real and most excellent poweramp, Mesa 2:90. And now that I ironed a head (Engl Powerball), I feel I'll get back to power soak, as the Engl power section only takes intressante dynamics when pushed a But little I know, I rather lorgnerai ct of the Weber Mass now.
