Man thanks, this is so far the best review focused on apartment/bedroom level sound discussion. I have bought PRS MT 15 amp and 60 watt 1x12 cabinet, and still even on half mode amp sounds sou loud that it even damages ears, master volume at low level did not help a lot because sound changes in that case. Attenuator is needed even with such an amp. Cheers!

I just got a used Mesa Boogie F100 head and oversized 4 X 12 and it goes from 0 to blow your ears out at the slightest touch of the volume. Like you said at bedroom levels there is almost no bass but even with the volume at 1 it's too loud. I have ordered this attenuator and when it gets here I can finally hear what this beast should sound like without the cops at my door.

I bought one. It arrived today. I only play small venues. I'm hoping I can use my 100 watt Dual Rectifier Tremo Verb combo amp again. I have an Express 5:50. I love the 5 watt for playing by myself. It's not loud enough once you're jamming with a drummer. When it's in the 50 watt setting, it's loud enough to where I can't turn the amp up too loud. Looking forward to experimenting with this thing.

I did have one of these but sold it not so long ago to get a Two notes Captor X. For the cost and what it does its a great unit. I felt mine made everything a muddy sounding but I think using a the EQ to better effect would work great. I did run my 800 at home level with it like you are doing to good affect at home. It did have a huge amount of heat from the unit. Good option for lower priced (i paid under £40 2nd hand here in the UK)

LOL, we all know that Marshall (and other high gain amplifiers) don't sound good at bedroom level - they want to screw it all the way up, much to the chagrin of our neighbors! At one time, I used a Marshall Powerbrake PB100, but that does not mean that all the knobs should be at 10 and that after a whole day of gigging, day after day, nothing bad will happen to the amplifier. Oh yes, it will. And the attenuator heats up a lot, so you shouldn't use cheap things from the leading equipment group. As always Euge, an excellent and instructive post.

You’re tone is killer for metal. Period! I’m not sold on the Bugera. I guess I’m going to have to buy one, try it, and decide for myself. I play a Marshall late 70’s JMP #2204 and it’s “magical.” So, I assume I’ll get similar tones to your #2203, just not as LOUD! I’d just like to be able to crank my amp without always performing for the neighbors. Thanks Euge, for all the great videos! ✌🏼 *SUBBED*

@vintagetubeamplifiers
@vintagetubeamplifiers 2 года назад
The volume difference in 50 vs 100 watt amplifiers is only about 3 db which is almost negligible, 100 watters are not 50% louder than 50 watters. Other factors come into play though such as more headroom with 100 watters. Personally I run all 50 watt tube amps purely by chance too. 1981 Marshall JCM 800 2204, 1993 Ampeg VL-502, 1966 Fender Bandmaster and a 1976 Fender Super Reverb all 50 watters though the Fenders are 40 watts each. But get the Bugera on sale at Sweetwater for only $69.99 and FREE shipping, you can't go wrong. Luckily I have always had attenuators though, the Ampeg VL's all have them built in and my JCM 800 was modded with a push/pull master volume 2 attenuator by Lee Jackson in the 80's.

@gamjammallota78

I have one too. Great explanation. Couple days experiment with it and you got it down. You found the pros and cons. Yes, the PS1 will get plenty hot with a Marshall JCM 800 that are known to output 135 to 140watts. It is a "passive" soak. That means the wire-wound ceramic resistors will reduce the extra watts [power] by releasing heat. Just like a toaster. It is a reasonable option for a lot less cash when on a budget. Even safer and cooler with a 50watter or less. Like you said, it cuts you down 50% from the start which may put some off. I have used it on a 1watt Marshall, a HiWatt Hi-5, and other 5watters, an Orange OR-15, Marshall DSL-20, Marshall 1987 50watt, and the 1959 Plexi 100watt with decent results. It does take some time dialing it into the amps gain structure to fit with your particular settings for optimum results.

Thanks for your awesome video! I have a question: I use a Engl Powerball II (100 watt) and I uss it with master at 1 at home without too much volume. I use the 4 channels of the head and it has nice sound. Do I really need a power soak? I mean, using power soak and using the master at 5 should I get a better sound even on distortion channels or I need it only to crank the clean and get power tubes distortion? Thanks!
@EugeValovirta230V
@EugeValovirta230V 2 года назад
Thanks! I guess those modern amps sound ok without pushing the power tubes but IMO any amp will sound better when you get some of that good ol’ power tube mojo in there. The amps just become more alive and especially with older amps (Plexis, 800s etc.) it’s pretty much a must or the tone could be quite thin. But if it sounds good, it’s good 😎

I was always told that you would need a dummy load not plugging into a cab at all... not sure that this box was made for a true dummy load... this guy here tells you how to build one yourself... in which you would simply just plug it into your amps speaker out and go... (this is a 4 or 8 ohm one, so switch the amps as well then write yourself a note)... pretty cute... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8jFKa8AJkFo.html

My stereo rig for 20 years now consists of 2 Diezel Herberts: Both a Mk1 and a Mk2 180 WATT heads. I use only two rack gear units for effects. A primary TC Electronic G-Major and a secondary TC Electronic G-Force for backup. The only effect between my guitar output and the input to my stereo Herbert rig is my Dunlop Crybaby Classic WAH - a KISS option. I was using 2 Bugera PS1 Soakers inline for each Herbert until it dawned on me that since I am always running through my TCEs, I can ditch the Bugera altogether. The simple fact that inherent to TCEs built-in attenuation setting in the "ALL LEVELS" block. Simply, it is the "Global Out Level" and the output range is off at (-100dB) ranging through to 0dB full level. This sets the overall output level of the G-Major/G-Force. As the parameter name states, this level is global and therefore not stored with presets. Using the Global Out level as overall volume for your guitar setup, instant volume control of your entire rig. It's much nicer and comforting knowing that my rig is "more pure" now, but if you don't have "transparent" rack gear such as TC Electronic gear is known for their "transparency", then for $100x2 (for stereo rigs) you cannot go wrong. But beware, you don't want to push these little guys much beyond 100W or you may be soaking some unwanted smoking in the room. They do rock, but I do notice a slight bit more "clarity" without the Bugeras when pushed hard. Plus, I like to hear my 12x JJ-KT77s in their full 35mA hot glowing glory... Live and rock on learning!

Most of these no-reactive load boxes are technically the same ( bugera,Harley Benton,jet city) just a few high watt resistors and high watt potentiometer.

A volume pedal in the loop will restrict the amount of preamp signal hitting the power tubes. A box such as the Bugera allows the power tubes to be hit with the full preamp output and cranking up the power amp section as desired. An attenuator box as this soaks up the power and volume that is being sent to the speaker(s). The speakers might not be pushed to their sweet spot, but you'll be able to have both tube sections running at prime levels.

@EugeValovirta230V
@EugeValovirta230V 2 года назад
Not really since it’s a cab attenuator so it works like it’s designed when you put that between your amp (speaker out - very high current signal level) and your speaker cab so you can crank the amps power section (master volume) and get the most out of a tube amp and then control the overall volume with the PS1. Tube amps sound the more fuller (=better) the more the power tubes are driven but that leads to a very loud volume so with this one you’re able to play with one in other places than huge outdoor venues or studios with an isolated room 😎. Effect loop is between the amp’s preamp & power amp section so in the effect loop this only reduces the output from preamp to power amp which is pretty much the opposite we want ’cos it’ll sound like s”*#t 😎. And the signal from preamp to power amp isn’t speaker level signal so PS1 most likely just won’t work for the aforementioned reasons 😎.
