Does anyone know anything bout these e-bay only volume boxes?

I've read mixed reviews and many people suspect that the good ones were planted by the maker.

Kinda wanna believe they're good though and if they are will they make a difference if I push my DeVille up and use this to control volume?

Also, will my DeVille break up on the clean channel to a nice natural distortion past 4? It's never been up that loud!!

Thanks guys.

Apparently someone on this forum designed it. I read somewhere that if the seller didn't reference that guy, don't buy from him. I bought mine from a guy whose username was actually omnisonic and he did give credit to the guy who designed it in his auction ad. I've talked to him extensively since and he is a stand up guy and I know his real name. I'd never give it out without his permission though.

I played live with my BDRI yesterday with the omnisonic in the loop. Works fine and if there's a change in tone, it's minute enough that I don't notice it. The big difference to me was I was previously using a very popular brand attentuator that would get very hot quickly and start to smell like electrical burn. My amp ran 4 hours straight yesterday and the omnisonic never even got warm.

I was in a bind when I ordered mine and emailed him and asked if he would overnight me one. He figured the extra cost and shipped it right then. I was supposed to get it by noon the next day. It didn't show. He gave me a tracking number at around 10:30AM and when I tracked it, it showed it being scanned at 5:44PM. The shipper tried to claim he didn't show until 5:44PM. How did he just pull a 14 digit alphanumeric number out of the air?

He got on the phone in TX and I got on the phone in TN and we traced it down to a hub and I went and picked it up. He sent me the receipt where he shipped it and it was date stamped that MORNING and had my shipping address on it and even said on the receipt "Guarranteed Next Day by Noon." He filed a claim and got his money back and refunded my shipping for my trouble.

In his auction it says if it ever breaks or whatever, send it back and he will fix or replace. I took that with a grain of salt and also considered I got it for a Buy Now of $17. After seeing how concerned he got with me not getting it when I was supposed to, I have no reason to believe he wouldn't stand behind that.

I was very thankful for his help because my office complex is closed on Saturdays and can't receive packages. I needed the sender's help because a recipient can't change a destination only the sender.

I know this was long but I wanted to give you as much info as possible so you could make a decision yay or nay. My only concern when I opened the package was its size. It's tiny. I sit mine right on top of my BDRI and use to pedal patch cables and it never moves. Apparently size doesn't matter, it works perfectly for me and tamed my BDRI where I can use it at home even after the wife and kids go to bed. My Blues Jr is almost too loud to use late nights and I wish it worked on it too, but the Blues Jr doesn't have a loop.
