Tube Amp Doctor Silencer 16 Ohm Power Attenuator - Load Box

The Tube Amp Doctor Silencer Guitar Amplifier Power Attenuator 16 Ohm is a guitar amplifier power attenuator used to reduce output power and volume, featuring 2db attenuating steps from -2db to -16db, with a boost-switch, a "LOAD" position, 150 watt RMS, and an adjustable line-out. The SilencerTM is used to reduce output power and volume. Many popular rock guitar sounds are based on the well known sounds created by the guitar legends of the sixties and seventies. Guitar playerscranked up their amps to full volume to be heard. Tube guitar amps do sound best when played loud because the output stage starts to saturate and delivers the most musical and harmonic distortion, wonderful sustain and a thick tone with overall response.

It gets connected between the amps speaker output and the speaker(s) (or speaker cabinet) and gives total control on what part of the power output will be feed to your speakers. Crank up the amp to the setting were it sounds best and adjust the final volume just for your speakers with the SilencerTM. All components which are responsible for great guitar tone are still working "cranked up" to your favourite set-up (preamp tubes, driver stage, output tubes, transformers etc.) and deliver great tone. The final volume you hear is adjusted after the amps output. The power attenuation can be set in convenient 2db steps from FULL power to ­16db. From ­16db on you can fine adjust to total silence.
