    I realise this video is a hot discussion point but would love to hear your views (please ignore my nervousness, it's a new thing for me :) ), after trying it i was impressed that i could turn the amp up to 12 to get preamp overdrive and control the twitchy volume on the clean channel.

      I use one with my Fender Frontman 100W 212R. The amp is so loud without it that it is unusable in a home environment. The amp goes from off to loud - there is no in-between setting.

What confuses me is..Why the expensive attenuators on the market then ?..I feel confused and a bit concerned about it...Could this be to good to be true ?...Am I gonna melt it ? Dunno yet. I hope it's the simple inexpensive remedy it claims to be !
      Just seems everyone talks about fender hot rods etc using it...Not 100 watt Marshalls..

    Currently playing with a band that rehearses at a whisper level and my Hot Rod Deluxe is too loud at half of one on the volume knob. I researched the problem and found out about this little black box which changed everything. I am able to play with the volume at 4 and turned down on the effects loop. While it will not drive the power tubes, it does push the preamp tubes and gives me a great tone. This is a simple but very effective solution.

      @@allboutthemojo an attenuator will allow you to use the full power of the amp including the power tubes, this will just allow you to use the preamp tube power, also attenuators these days have cab IRs and will let you use headphones (or at least the captor x does) of course attenuators are much more expensive and if you are just starting out then this will be fine

      @@DerekPaulGuitar thanks for replying. Maybe I'm confused or I think I have it straight now? So if the volume pedal goes in between the preamp and power amp via the effects loop, it is turning down the signal from the preamp ( which is where the primary tone shaping is done? ) going into the power amp. Wouldn't this sacrifice the tone? Whereas with the attenuator going after the power amp and before the speakers or cabinet, it will still allow the amp tubes to fully process the signal as per the character of all the tubes before giving the user full control over the volume from the lowest setting without impacting tone?
      Sorry I'm just trying to understand which one I should get as there are some attenuator available for $100 , still more $ than a jhs vol pedal but not by too much.

    I went ahead and bought this JHS little black box. I saw another video where a guy used his EQ pedal in the loop, so I tried my Boss 7 band EQ. In short it worked great, no loss of tone I could tell and no hiss. The only thing is if I take my DSL100H to 6 in the Ultra gain channel, with the EQ all the way down the output of the amp is probably around 2 or slightly less. That makes the amp usable but still a bit loud. I’d like to be able to dime it and have it bedroom level. Pipe dream? Anyway got it anyway, can’t be bad to have a simple in-line master volume control.

      Because you are not pushing the power tubes. That is were the sweet gain comes from. Preamp gain is harsh and nasty. All you are doing with this is pushing the preamp tubes and cutting the power before it reaches the power tubes.

I hooked up the Little Black Box just as the directions says, input to the send and output to the return. It is a lower volume with the amp volume raised, but now its just a very low volume and there's no volume control. When I raise the volume on the Black Box it squeals and feeds-back but it doesn't raise the volume at all. And it doesn't sound any different than if I just had the amp volume at it's lowest level. What am I missing here ?

It'll be flat so grind .1 of a mm back and recheck untill its exact. Then wrap up that 1.5%. Youll like it if u havent done it already

    @PR-fo5mj 3 года назад +4

    I got one of these for my Blackstar Combo - works great as you said for amps like mine where most of the breakup/distortion comes from the pre-amp section and the power amp remains mostly clean. I don't see any downside in this case. It may not work as well in an amp where the cranked up power section provides a significant amount of tonal character that the player wishes to retain - those type amps would require an attenuator between amp and speaker in order to reduce overall volume without losing the tonal quality provided by the power amp section at higher volumes.

    • @DerekPaulGuitar

From what I understand though, it basically does the same as any other volume pedal, correct? I’m not really a pedal expert, but there are a few overdrive pedals I have laying around that I never use. Theoretically, could I just stick one in my FX loop and only use its volume knob? Or would that not do the same thing as the JHS pedal? Just trying to save the most money here lol. Thanks.

      Hi Evan, I’m not familiar with that amp but I would say that if the little amp box was in the effects loop and you switched the effects loops off the little black amp box would be disengaged, that sounds right to me but maybe worth checking with the manufacturer.

      @@DerekPaulGuitar Yeah, I was thinking perhaps the send signal was always active but the return is what is getting switched on or off, I bought one anyways just to hear my amp on something more than 1.8 out of curiosity. I never expected a fender to be wall melting at 4.

    Can I use one of this on a Princeton Reverb? It doesnt have preamp out and power amp in jacks.

      Hi and thanks for the comment, I don’t think the Princeton reverb has an effects loop unfortunately, might be worth looking at an attenuator though if you can unplug the speaker?

    I hope that you bought a better amp. The difference between a Hotrod and a Princeton is huge. But the Tone King Gremlin would be better if you want it for home. 😁👍

      I still have the hot rod, I use a tech 21 q-strip parametric eq and a NUX compressor in front of it and it sounds amazing, the amps you mentioned are out of my price range.

      @@DerekPaulGuitar Hi Derek. I understand. I think the approach you’ve taken is clever. When I used a Blues Jnr, I used the Tech 21 Blonde and a compressor to improve the sound. Changing the speaker is the best way to improve them as Fender uses dreadful speakers. I used a Cannabis Rex, which is great, but the Eminence Legend or Legacy (it’s name is one of those) gives a truer Fender sound. I recently bought a used Cali76 compressor and it is amazing. At first it sounded no different, but after a few days I realised that it’s effect was transparent, but it made my TC Hypergravity, and other compressors, sound awful. For about £140 it transformed my tone. I’m a Brit living in Australia. I only recently learned how expensive music gear is in the UK. It’s very expensive here, but it’s worse in the UK. But I highly recommend getting a better speaker and an Origin Effects Compressor. Fender puts crappy speakers in all of its amps, except for the handwired models. I’ve been watching the Origin Effects Compressors for 10 years and the used prices have finally started coming down. Thanks mate.

    Too much emphasis is made on cranking power tubes for 'that' sound. Sometimes it just sounds flubby, ratty and a bit broken. However.... crank the volume on silver face 70s twin, turn down the master and bass, crank up the treble and mids and.. instant never mind the bollocks! Try just turning everything up and you'll make everyone a bit sad
