This is a great video explaining all the different settings! Been a big fan of Peavey for years. Glad there is still a lot of appreciation for some of their more obscure gear that maybe did not get as much love as it deserved but are true gems to those who know how to work their equipment.
I thought of taking two of the four tubes out and then do an intentional impedance mismatch on the back to make the impedance correct for the two tubes. But then i figured it will still be 70 watts and still crazy loud. Also convert the ground switch to a triode/pentode switch to scrub off some further power. I always think about when using these attenuators, you're killing the power tubes even though the volume is lowered acceptably. I wish there was a high voltage equivalent to the el34 like the 6v6 is to the 6L6. Those el84's can't take the same plate voltages as el34's can

How does the attenuator handle the 140w
