PA-100 Power Attenuator : It’s an attenuator, don’t rely on the speaker sim

4 years ago

Solid build and works as intended. I wouldn’t rely on it as a loadbox without a speaker as it bleeds some sound when set at minimum.

I think it colors my sound a bit — not sure if it’s because of the loadbox or because I can crank the tubes more. But the sound gets dark and muddy. I try to attenuate as little as possible because of that.

The speaker sim option is bad. Still better than direct output, so I guess it can work when you have absolutely no other options. I’m using an old Behringer Ultra G DI box — the speaker sim there is better.
