Description
You want great, overdriven tone. Your valve amp sounds its best CRANKED. But you're tired of your dental fillings shaking loose. Or maybe you're in the studio and you don't want your amp bleeding into everyone else's mics. Or maybe you're one guitar practice away from getting evicted! How can you get monster sound at quieter volume levels? Simple: Put a brake on it.
The Marshall Power Brake is the power attenuator that delivers great sound at low volume levels. There are other attenuators or load boxes available, but they don't provide the right type of inductive load. Your amp needs to think it's connected to a speaker. That's what the Power Brake does. The other guys? At best, they cause your amp to sound thin and feeble. At worst, they can blow your valve's output transformer -- Ouch! Get the Marshall Power Brake. It's safer for your amp and safer for your ears

Marshall PB100 Powerbrake Inductive Speaker Attenuator Reviews
10 out of 10
"Clean Thick Thumpin Tone No Signal Loss"
Feature:
Only one knob how simple.
Quality:
Built like a tank. Heavy like one too.
Value:
THD hot plate is nice, too many options. have to choose 4 or 8 or 16 ohm.. this attenuator is the standard easy to use tone maker.
Desirability:
who cares whatit looks like, its what it sounds like, who's gonna see your powerbrake in the studio on your record?
Sound:
Makes so change in tone. Keeps the highs, mids, and lows where they need to be for practicing at home, recording or playing small clubs. one knob to turn. to cables to plug in very simple.
Ease of Use:
Once again one know. stick it on top of your amp away from the vent and your good to go.
Support:
Haven't needed any. Like any marshall though i have never had a problem
Overall:
I will always use this product. The guy that said it blew his tubes is a MORON. the powerbrake didnt blow his tubes, HE blew his tubes. That guy probably bought it and said "oh cool, i can turn everything up to 10 now" and kazaam 1972 marshall head broken by an idiot. Give that Head to charity you dont deserve it. Oh and you amp Tech should stay away from amps. He should know it was YOUR Moronic Finger and Pea-brain that broke a Marshall.
