Members BowerR64 Posted July 2, 2005 Members Share Posted July 2, 2005 How much are the attenuator? the marshall power brake is like $250. on e-bay, that seems kinda steep. Who else makes em besides marshall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JcKerr Posted July 2, 2005 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2005 I think THD makes them also the hot plate or something like that... but they are about the same price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BowerR64 Posted July 2, 2005 Members Share Posted July 2, 2005 Yeah there is one on ebay now and i was reading the auction, that sounds like a better unit, just because it has some other settings to change the sound a little. It sounds a little more flexable then the marshall. Stupid that it turns the power it soaks in into usless heat. I mean the amp puts out enough heat why do you want more? to bad it couldnt be put to some use like a spectrum analyzer or a fan or somthing that actualy does somthing. Probobly just a box full of big sand block resistors. How many watts is your amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JcKerr Posted July 2, 2005 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2005 it's only 50... for that much money i might as well just get a practice amp to screw around with... any suggestions on a good, really smally, cheap amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JcKerr Posted July 2, 2005 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2005 what kind of discount? would i be looking at the 50 watt minimass? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Guy Posted July 2, 2005 Members Share Posted July 2, 2005 Hello JC, Yes, either the MiniMass or Mass. The Mass has some cool tone shaping abilities but is more expensive. I can offer 12.5% off the list price. Thanks for asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mistersuperfly Posted July 2, 2005 Members Share Posted July 2, 2005 The guy at my local store that gives lessons uses one of those new ampegs with the weber att. It sounds really good even at low volume he cranks it all the way at volume that's fine for lessons in store while customers walk around...

Members jonny guitar Posted July 3, 2005 Members Share Posted July 3, 2005 I wouldn't use an attenuator with that amp. RI ampegs are made by Crate and are not designed to run on 10 for extended periods. They really do sound nice though until the chassis rattles become so loud that you are forced to sell the amp at a big loss. Do I sound too bitter and pissed off at Crate crap?
