This is a power attenuator transistor that can swallow 100w. The metal case is strong and seems able to support a tour. Experiment, it supports them in fact. Soon four years after purchase, it is still running.

I notice an inscription "assembled in mexico" ... weird. An entry from the amp, output in the cabinet, a third that can connect online, but I never use this function.

The manual comes down to a sheet that explains what you can easily see for yourself.

The real questions that you ask you are not detailed, and I therefore responds to you. The amperage of this attenuator is 10 ohm. Do not ask me why, but this allows it to be used both on a couple cabinet / 8 ohm amp than 16 ohm. This point bothered me to marshals and other THD. Be careful (I see some future) it is not a power transformer, if you feed your 8 ohm output by, it will return to your entry into the cab 8 ohm. This makes sense, unless you're a noob and it's always nice to note.

[6] standard and simple but with the small addition to the multi-impedance. But a little disappointing because only one output to the cabs.

The case is simply this. Input and output to go out of his head toward the speaker.

A wheel for the determination of the level of mitigation.

The use is standard. However, I must indicate that much cash the major powers and little heat, even in prolonged use. However, red card for design. The fins directly affect the soil, because they are a bit beyond the case. If you have carpet, you will have to gaffer.

Similarly, another big problem. Is that the more you reduce, more lower its impedance. The post of another forumeur made me pay attention. Indeed, without pushing my amp unreasonably. Tubes blackened quickly. I tend to put the attenuator to almost the bottom and up, reasonably, the master volume. I take this opportunity to point out that, on a 30w amp and do not mount the knob mitigation donf almost immediately excluded from the game volume bedroom. "In short, following the opinion left lower j 'I then reduced the median values ​​mitigation (improving transparency at the same time), and was able to keep the following set of tubes significantly longer (equal volumes). However, the volume becomes very large and ruled out any use other than "locally or in concert".

[5] is also easy to grip. All its direct competitors offering more or less the same factors, but it is far from big names like that.

It allows you to make the most of his tube amplifier without twisting the ears.

The small inflection in the treble is forgivable, I also denoted a small muddy side in the medium as a whole, but only after re-re-re-re-re-re-(4892x) and listening by plugging in the gear killing (the nouveaumien)! The muddy side tends to increase over the selected mitigation is important. However, it is impossible to eat all the 100w spewed by my head, but it's still not very attenuated and can not play flat. But the attenuation of a 100w can fall below the threshold of pain and give the guitar its true place. Ideally, however, a connection to a 30W or less, one is left to grow over-and under it is pushed, the less the little muddy side. Practice Tip for the studio.

[7] Nothing amazing in its specificity, its ok.

A good quality product, which is sadly misdirected.

Many problems in order to force me strongly discouraged. <strong>[1]</strong> you will understand why going to read on the forum attached

<strong>Note [5] is the average home.</strong> My previous opinion lacked objectivity and was written under the influence of nervousness, this opinion is more objective and better guide the consumer.

EDIT: ATTENTION! The mail alert below is very serious. I actually found a rapid darkening of my tubes when I was pushing at an end of output 80hm. After changing and taking into account what was said below, the wear of the tubes is slower and darkening is normal in duration.
