MESA/BoogiePowerHouse Reactive Load Attenuator Black 16 Ohm
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The black 16 Ohm PowerHouse Reactive Load Attenuator manages tube-amp output while keeping the attenuator active in either Load or Speaker mode. Load mode allows silent operation when a live cabinet cannot be used. In Speaker mode, its pair of rear 1/4-inch speaker jacks work like amplifier speaker connections. The rear 1/4-inch line output can send the signal onward to an IR player or another amplifier, and the front toggle selects Normal, Bright, or Warm voicing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Running a tube amp silently when using a live speaker cabinet is not possible.
- Sending the rear line output to an impulse-response player or an additional amplifier.
- Reducing amplifier output while using either Load mode or Speaker mode.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking voicing selections beyond the supplied Normal, Bright, and Warm settings.
