I am a recovering transistor amp user...:-)...Actually it's worse than that..I was responsible for the creation of over 400,000 mosfet amplifiers..yep, not a typo.

Nowdays, I Play a redheaded Fender Strat or an ES335 Copy through a Fender Blues Deluxe and/or Epiphone Junior combo, using a very early Tube Cube prototype (still going strong), a CE3 Chorus, Vintage MXR, PS2 Delay and a Korg Leslie simulator. I also play a vintage Pearl single bass drum set, (dont hold that against me!)

Followup Email from customers of note:

I love the attenuator. Took it to my regular Wednesday night jam and used it with a Carvin Nomad, the same model of amp I have at home and the amp which inspired me to look for an attenuator. The sound was incredible. Easily found a setting that worked with the two guitars, bass, and drums line up. I think the real proof of how much the cube did for my sound was the fact that I used no efx other than the amp's reverb and its two channels. I?m always trying efx; especially overdrive pedals in an effort to find a sound I like. I connected the cube and plugged in the guitar to quickly demonstrate to friend how it worked and never stopped to hook up my pedal board. Thanks so much, Jukebox John

And another:

Having read the more detailed description & instructions I hooked the Tube Cube between my Marshall Superbass & Etone cabinet containing an Etone 13 1/2 inch 200w bass speaker. Everything was set properly so I turned things on, let the amp warm up before selecting run & then had a bash. It works. My solid body bass thundered away happily without shaking the house down or the posters on the walls setting up sympathetic vibrations. I worked through the range of vol setting on the cube and found one that suited the occassion - loud but not painful. I plugged in my Epi Sheratone II & I love the extra colour of the valves being run hard. Massively reduced feedback too! I hadn't played this particular guitar at sufficient vol to hear that aspect before - it hasn't left the house. Next I plugged in my Bruno Royal Artist & the single coils are really great with hot tubes. Bridge pickup swung & stung. Being that I don't have the advantage of a Master Vol or Gain set up on the amp I decided to push the signal a little. I plugged in a recent acquisition - a Morrison Big Fluff - hand made in Tasmania (highly recommended - rugged, great sound & a pretty blue light). WOW! Drive & Vol set at 1/2 way & sustain almost to max it sounds really great with the new amp set up. It sounded pretty bloody good before but it suits the cranked tubes even more. After all that I went back upstairs. My ears weren't ringing, (well, no louder than the normal tinnitus I live with), no head ache &, most importantly of all, no complaints from the spouse. Cheers rayC

Yet another:

hey hey, just wanted to say how imgreat product fast lighting fast shipping Can't go wrong herepressed i am with my tube cube. i can't believe i've used tube amps so long without a decent attenuator. The tone my Hot Rod Deluxe has now is truly unbelievable. I've submitted a review on harmony central so we'll see if that goes up. I've got a cream Hot Rod Deluxe with the reissued Tung Sol 6L6GCs and when it's turned to 10-11(they go to 12) it just sounds amazing, but am I risking blowing something running it that hard? Anyways, really nice work! I'll be recommending them to everyone I can! Feel free to use my name and you could put that I play guitar for The People's Revolutionary Choir too if you like. www.myspace.com/thepeoplesrevolutionarychoir (scroll down the comments and that's me in the MC5 shirt). http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Effects/product/Jim+Sanders/Tube+Cube+160w+Dual+Output+-+Tube+Amp+Attenuator/10/1

About the Pro160:

Hi Jim, just to let you know, I cranked it up a bit last night and the attenuator is brilliant! Now just got to play with the pedals etc to try and get a sound that was previously relying on them to be just through the amp! again, thanks for you help and support, elsimso

Q: Jim, I bought a Cube a couple months ago and lost my instruction sheets, can you resend them to me? A: Sure thing, attached is the PDF file for you. Take care! Q:Thank a million, Jim. I'm using my attenuator with my band this afternoon and continue to get a lot of enjoyment from it. BTW did you finish the re-design of your attenuator boxes yet? Please let me know. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving! Tony A: Yep, sure did, offering the "Pro160" model now, new style case, dual outputs, Carry handle, and much requested Line-out jack, On the lower priced end I am offering the "Basic80" single channel, 4-8-16 carry handle. Thanks for writing happy thanksgiving to you also. js

Another: Jim I finally got a couple hours to use the Cube, It's nice to be able to get some color and flavor out of an amp and still be able to hear without using earplugs. My wife commented afterwards on how good it sounded. And, the dog didn't go to the other end of the house. I'd say it gets two thumbs - and a paw - up Regards G.
