Anybody use an attenuator for the amp at home?
The Swart Night Light attenuator looks like a great one.

I built an attenuator into the 2x12 I built a while ago. its made of weber parts so its basically a simple weber attenuator.
Its cool and helpful when you have a super powerful 100 watter that really sounds best cranked. I never go past like 50 percent or so. you lose a lil high and low end but its suitable if you dont over do it. toobz need to cook!

Yup, I use an old Tom Scholz Power Soak from the 80s. My amp is a Bugera 1960, which is 100 watts and I play with it overdriving like 60-70 percent of the time, but I also need clean every now and then. Luckily, the way it works out, my amp on 4 (cleanish) with the Soak bypassed is just about the same volume as my amp on 7 (pretty dirty) and the Scholz clicked down 3dBs. I can go from clean to dirt by turning two knobs and the volumes match.

I don't get why they make separate hot plates for each impedance. Every other attenuator let's you switch between 4/8/16.

I wouldn't recommend ordering anything from THD at this point. buying used would be okay, but don't expect THD to fix it.
