Fryette Powerstation, done. Crank the amp and use the re-amp to get lower volumes.. plus you have a effects loop if you want it. There are no completely transparent attenuators, but the Powerstation is amazing for this.. I have one that I use with my 1959HW.We made an amp comparison a few days ago and my buddy's Handwired Plexi totally blew my mind. It provided such a punch compared to my 50 watt JMP that I would have never expected. It was a total beast. I used the following settings: High input, Volume on 10, Presence, Treble, Mid on 10, Bass on 0. Greenback full stack. Sounded absolutely glorious!
One problem: the volume was so intense that it became physically unbearable after a few minutes of playing. Incomparable to my 50 watt JMP. The difference in volume was astonishing.
My goal is not to accommodate the amp to bedroom playing just to cut a few decibels in order to make the volume about equal to my 50 watt JMP and to make it usable on a single Greenback cab. All of the attenuators I've had previously made a terrible job (changed the amp's tone for the worse) and the better ones cost almost as much as the amp itself which is silly. So would a simple master volume mod help me in this regard? Again, the goal is just to cut a few db's while retaining the amp's glorious natural punch. Any tips what would be the best route of achieving this?
