PA-100 Power Attenuator : Attenuates more than the volume

For the price I wasn't looking for an amazing sounding attenuator, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Starting with the Pros:

- Inexpensive,

- Not impedance specific as other models are. The attenuator has 4, 8 & 16 ohm inputs.

- Sounds good

Cons:

- It attenuates the lows of an amp quite a bit, which could be a good thing if you have an overly boomy amplifier.

- It is a little brighter than the unattenuated sound of the amplifier.

- When the attenuator is turned all the way up, it's not nearly as loud as the unattenuated volume and there is no bypass switch to switch to full output.

I have not used and don't foresee a need for me to use the direct out option so I cannot attest to the effectiveness or sound quality of that part of the device.

All in all, It's a great solution to bring the volume of your amp down to bedroom volumes for practice, but I'm still on the fence as to whether or not this attenuator is gigable.
