Just thought of taking a look on Ebay for a feedblocker. ..don't make em anymore...boo hoo.
What I did find was this.
Juice Box 25 tube amplifier attenuator by TubularMods - 8?
Item# 141634744600
The description made it irresistible..so I got one. Mainly because I play a small venue and need to "soak my tubes" without blowing away the front row...any feedback would be nice...I think I made a sound investment....?
Thanks,
Mojo
das okay...I'll know soon enough this Wednesday...

Mojo- I don't know if they are a good investment or not, but I would love to hear how you like it once you get it and give it a try. I've thought of getting one several times, but haven't yet.

Haven't used one myself, but a good friend, Brian Lee of Brian Lee and the Orbiters (best blues band in the Northwest - shameless plug) uses a vintage attenuator with his Victoria Bassman clone in such settings. He swears by it. I know the one he uses is a vintage model, but I don't know the name.

I used the weber one with a 4x10 bassman for a while, it it works well, just ends up being too much trouble, ended up getting a smaller amp that could overdrive at lower volumes... and kept the 4x10 around to allow for larger stages/ outdoor concerts

as far as I know, the cheap attenatuators suck tone at lower volumes. but that tone suck is mostly high end, and for a guitar player that is a nightmare, but for harp is not so bad.

thanks for the responses...I think there were some decent ones made, in the not so recent history.
The Feedblocker was one. I have a friend who still has one. His worked pretty good. I'll give a hollar when I'm done testing it out tomorrow night.
The description is everything a blues harp player wants to hear...I was helpless!
FYI the 4X10 I have rigged to the Fanon Masco is partly the reason. I would need to get the 50 watt one for my Bassman. Which, if I'm happy, I will gladly plunk down the green for another one.
