PA-100 Power Attenuator : An absolute steal at this price.

I'm a typical bedroom guitarist, with what might be a slightly atypical setup: a Marshall JTM45 valve head sitting on a 4x12 half stack. The amp doesn't have a drive or gain pot, so if you're after crunch or distortion, you need to crank it up. In common with most Marshall amps, it's very loud!

Enter the PA-100. Having shelled out the £€$ for the JTM45 I baulked at the price tags on some of the attenuators out there. This appeared to deliver the same features for a fraction of the price, so I ordered one.

It's excellent! It does exactly what I ask of it. As far as I can tell, it adds minimal colouration to the sound and doesn't appear to subtract much either. I'm very happy with it.

Audition this before you spend more.

UPDATE

Some time has passed. There’s a little too much play in the attenuator dial, but other than that I’m still very happy with the price/performance of this item. Recommended.
