Dr. Watson Lion Tamer: Amazing Real Tube Overdrive at any volume with a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 

It’s still only giving you pre-amp tube distortion, not power tube distortion. That’s not what your amp sounds like when the power tubes are overdriven. The effects loop comes before the power tubes in the circuit so you’re turning the volume down before it hits them. The only way to get power tube distribution at “bedroom” volume is to use an actual, proper attenuator.

Would like a demo of the Lion Tamer with a Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue if you get time.

Where do you buy one?

Will it work on amps other than Fender???

Where can you purchase this? Searching online, it is hard to find.

Great demonstration of the hrd and lion tamer. After not using my hrd for years at home due to the volume issue, I finally ordered one of these. You get a great sound from the amp, even on the drive channel. Thanks for sharing.

Ha, I get that face when you turn them up. These things will blow your face off. I live in the country, so not worried about neighbors, just my head exploding. Thanks man.

I have a purple HRD, these amps are beasts, way too much amp for me but the price was amazing. Being in ch2, clean, with OD/fuzz pedal, u can crank the vol/master a little for home use and get great tone. But I need to get one of these.

Enough white noise to make it crazy

Where can I get this thing?!!

That works well. Sounds good ! I've built those for a few people in the last year or two.

Excellent!

Thanks for making this. I was wondering about these things

Man, I bet that clean channel boosted is where it's at!

Thanks man, gonna get me one of these for my HRD so I don’t melt my family and neighbours! Nice playing too btw! Rock on🤘🏽

This really is a game changer if you have a Hot Rod Deluxe or a Blues Deluxe. Mine works great!

Thanks for posting, I had a 70s twin with a little blue "ice cube" that plugged in to the reverb send/return using the reverb knib as the volume and that was uncreadible! This lion tamer is a great idea!

Have one in the mail for my new (used) Hot Rod Deville 4x10. Can't wait to try it out.

Heb de lian tamer sedert enkele maanden in bezit. Mijn hot rod deluxe is van 1999. De lian tamer is een ware must daar hij alle kwaliteiten van deze versterker naar boven kan brengen. Vooral op het distortion kanaal is die gepast te gebruiken. Volume distortion kan volledig worden opengedraaid tot 12😳. De lian tamer regelt het uitgansvolume tot slaapkamerniveau. Te koop voor €20. Ongelooflijk!
