I've enjoyed your videos for sometime now Mr. F/Faerestrand, including this one, thank you. For years I've used an adjustable, plain resistor attenuator (like the one you are using here) with a 4X10" Fender Bassman & people seem to really like the tone/s, including me! I've recently delved into whats available with regard to attenuators & ended up buying an excellent one from from AudioStorm with variable degrees of reactive inductance; from completely stiff, just plain resistors, to 3 increasing levels of squishiness to mimic the feel of different speakers (& degrees of volume reduction of course). The initial one I bought was for a 2Ω transformer amplifier. I was so happy with it I bought another 8Ω model for another amp & used that last weekend in a small club - fantastic! Audiostorm is a small company owned & run by affable feller (from phone & email communication), Sean Hill in Manchester, UK. The units are a great design, over engineered & handmade with top quality parts. You can probably tell I quite like them. The units I bought are called Audiostorm Hotbox 130. I have no affiliation with the company/Sean Hill other than being a happy customer.
Great video. I have the Harley Benton PA-250 and I'm very happy with it. It has a lot of options for attenuation and I don't find it ruining the tone of the amp or the guitar.
The more experience you get, the less you visit those forums. If you do, it's often for something very specific, and after you got some pointers, you're gone again. You find out pretty quickly that a lot of folks are probably in a completely different environment, as a lot of what they say doesn't seem to apply to you.
Harley Benton has amazing fine instruments. To explore the amp and its sounds i.e. at home or to keep the loudness in a comfort range this tool does the job. Harley Benton has attractive prices. So why not?
Check Bluguitar Amp1 if you get the chance. This amp can give you saturation/gain at low volume levels. Although a bit pricey it's amazing piece of gear to have around ( if into Marshal tone amps).
