Torpedo Captor 8 Ohms : Works great as an attenuator.

I'm using this strictly as an attenuator for my Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 50w. I can't comment on any other feature of this Torpedo. I was a little bit skeptical about a fixed attenuation, maybe the volume would be too low or too high (for playing in an apartment). There was nothing else of the same quality in this price range, so I took a chance and got this.

To me, I run my JCM 2000 DSL volume at 5-6 on the OD channel, and similar on the clean channel. That's where the sweet spot is IMO, and the attenuation is just right, the volume is great. It's loud enough so I have fun playing but it's not too loud at all. It's really perfect for MY PERSONAL SET UP. I can't tell if it "alters" the tone in any way, if it does I can't notice it. It sounds great, feels great and does the job great for me.
