I own a 40w Fender hot rod deluxe v1 and an Egnater Rebel 30 head through a 2x12 wgs loaded cab. Both amps are known for their loud but tameable clean channels. This product has notches its maybe like 1 through 100 1 being lowest vol. So at 1 its almost silent at 2 its about to be heard 3 is too loud for a bed room 4 is too loud for a living room and 5 and beyond seems like it's just pass-through. I have it set up correctly and the correct impedance (both amps are 8 ohm and the cab reads 7.6 on my mm) so I don't know if the one may have been difective (prob not) but also fro. The look of the stem its all cheap parts. But I haven't looked inside because I'm hoping to return it asap. Otherwise I gave it one star because it came with a real nice speaker cable.

The attenuation that I was looking for occurred in the last 10% of the knob travel toward minimum. Is there a heavy duty resistor that has more of an audio taper? Aside from that I still find it very usable. Without it my HR Deluxe was headed for E Bay. The clean channel is much nearer to the "sweet spot," and the OD channel is usable for the first time. I wonder if a lot of HR Deluxe amps are sold cheap becuase they can't be tamed! With Carl's Speaker Soak the HRD lives up to its potential. ...and by the way, much better and cheaper than yellow jackets and EL 84--which I recently tried.

Well made product and excellent value. Works as it should. Allows you to crank your amp to sweet spot without painful volume. Acts similar to master volume. Before you buy, take a few moments to understand the difference between passive and reactive power attenuators. This is passive and so it uses heat to dispurse the extra power that it takes away from speaker. It also changes the tone a bit. The item gets quite hot when running with my 20 watt amp but doesn't heat up at all with my 5 watt.

This little box works fine and does what it's supposed to. The potentiometer is not exactly linear. Having wanted to use this for a Fender Princeton, the amp now breaks up at much lower levels and that's what it's supposed to do, I've read reviews stating "seems like a distortion pedal" or "just distorts the sound". Well- what did you think its supposed to do? True, the usable part of the knob is a little more than all the way to the left. For me. I can't say about the last 3/4 of its travel - I don't need to go that loud but it can't hear much difference past 1/4 turn. For $49, it's a good deal. The aluminum is not highly polished and it has that handmade look. "Carl" has sold a lot of these, so I'd have to say he knows what he's doing.

Gives a nice range for reducing your amplifier's volume - now I can play my Orange Micro Terror at reasonable volume! Make sure you buy the model that matches your speaker's impedance.
