It is also an awesome tool when you're trying to get good gain tone at bedroom levels. You simply can't crank a 15w Blues Jr. to even halfway in your room,

I frequently crank up my 30W bedroom tube amp, so "simply can't" obviously isn't so. "May not be able to" is probably more accurate.

A load box / attenuator can be a good investment for home practice or home studio work if wanting to keep the dimed tube amp sound while living with people that can't regrow ear drums.


"May not be able to" may be a more accurate term but you're kinda reaching here in order to "win" the argument. Most people can't just crank a 15 watt, much less a 30 watt tube amp in their non sound-proofed bedroom without pissing off their parents or neighbors. You don't like SS amps, fine, but don't ignore the great benefits that come with owning one in certain situations.


Yeah, I have 100W Mustang III for travel and my girlfriend a Fender XD. Where we are somewhere where we want to play and have to play softly (say a hotel room or something), it's no problem dial down the Mustang, but the hair trigger volume on the XD means there are way too many through the roof accidents coming from my girlfriend's amp while she tried to breath on her volume control to go from silence to acceptable for hotel room playing... yeah, we have acoustics too, but sometimes you just want to jam on an electric... even when you can't crank up the volume.
