Sweetwater was quick and did a fine job getting my order out. The PS-1 however does rob your tone some and needs a treble boost. I also found the max volume 50%=was a bigger issue than expected for the tone shaping I needed. I kept the PS-1 unit but would hold off if I was you for a better attention with eq or find the perfect smaller amp instead.

Cheap and effective.
The PS-1 from Behringer is an easy to use power attenuator. I have several 50 watt amps that sound great, but sound even better fully cranked. I've tried more expensive attenuators, and this one performs as well as those, at a fraction of the cost. The option for 4, 8 or 16 ohm cabs is one feature not all high end models come with. Not a big fan of the tone from the line out/speaker emulator, but i record mainly through my SM57 mic, so no problem there. I would recommend this power soak to anyone who wishes to tame their way too loud amp at a really cheap cost. The PS-1 from Behringer is an easy to use power attenuator.

Inexpensive solution at the cost of your guitar tone
I'd recommend this from the standpoint of it being an inexpensive solution that has the flexibility of handling different inputs as well as being able to use it with 4,8 & 16 ohm speakers. However, nowhere does it say that the max power you can get back is 50% of your original signal. Also, the tone is pretty significantly altered. You can adjust your EQ on your amp (add highs/presence) but there is still something lacking. If you used pedals to drive the tone (especially fuzz boxes) then this tone-sucking element is less important since some pedals drives your tone.I'd recommend this from the standpoint of it being an inexpensive solution that has the flexibility of handling different inputs as well as being able to use it with 4,8 & 16 ohm speakers.

Keeping the Peace
It definitely does the job. My girl, and the dogs don’t hate me anymore. Not to mention the neighbors. I’m using it on a Hiwatt DR103, so the 100 watts make it get hot, but not to the point it would damage the tolex of the amp head. Of course it robs a bit of tone quality, but for everything you gain, you have to give something up.

Great product. Great price.
Great product. Does what they say it will do. Running my 100w Carvin through it. Allows me to get a nice natural tube break up at a reasonable volume. Amp is set between 2-3 volume on both channels. On channel two the drive is set at 8-10 depending on what I'm playing. These levels will blow you out of the basement. You can barely feel any heat from the unit. But I did try pushing it towards the upper end of what the amp can put out and the attenuator got pretty hot. So if you are wanting to buy this to run your amp wide open and then turning the attenuator all the way down, I would not suggest it. But if you want some great natural tones at a reasonable volume it works perfect. And doesn't have to work hard to make that happenGreat product. Does what they say it will do.

If you have a tube amp, you need to buy this!
If you have a 50 watt -100 Watt tube amp you definitely need this! I have a 100 Watt Marshall JVM 410H and a Marshall 1960 4- 12 Bottom. The head has a master volume so you can play at low levels but the sound is thin. If you crank it to 6 plus the amp is amazing but it is extremely loud. I finally decided to buy a Attenuator, after a lot of research I bought the Bugera PS1 and it is amazing! I can get unbelievable tone at whisper levels with no effects. It allows the amp to breath and open up. Set up is simple, all you need is a good quality speaker cable and you are good to go. I have had this amp for 8 plus years and have never had so much fun. My Marshall sounds like a Marshall, my Les Paul sounds like a Les Paul and the same with my Strat. You need to buy this and sell your effects! ...
