PA-100 Power Attenuator : Okay attenuator, great dummy load

As the headline says, as an attenuator it's not the best. It does the job, it lowers the volume, but like other reviews says it does change the sound quite a bit.

However, if you want to record your valve amp silently and directly, this thing is great for the money! The XLR output with a speaker sim is sh*t tbh, but the line out is where it's at. Besides, why would you want to record and not add your own IRs?

Of course, for this price there are some drawbacks. There's obviously no way of loading your own IRs in to the thing, so if you want to play live you have to make do with the previously mentioned sh*t XLR out. The speaker level knob also feels scratchy, while the line level knob is fine.

All in all this is a sturdy little box that works great for the bedroom musician who want the valve amp sound and the goodwill of the neighbours.
