"Clean Thick Thumpin Tone No Signal Loss"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
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.
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.
Features
Only one knob how simple.
Ease of Use
Once again one know. stick it on top of your amp away from the vent and your good to go.
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.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't needed any. Like any marshall though i have never had a problem

I BETTER BE SATISFIED WITH THIS PRODUCT FOREVER FOR THIS KINDA MONEY
Sound
I never had one of these before so i baught it thinking okay i need the volume to be low and the tone to be great and it did just that. If you want the real tone of your amp then you need to buy this not one of those THD junk YOU NEED TRUE MARSHALL TONE!!!!
Features
Not many features to talk about
Ease of Use
Theres only one knob how hard is that.....
Quality
The quality is great I guess can't go wrong with a marshall
Value
Yeah I thought the price needs to come way the hell down I mean seriously its a VOLUME CONTROL not an amplifier
Manufacturer Support
I have dealt with Marshall products my whole life my only other suggestion if you wanna jam with one of the best amps out there u need either a Marshall or a Hughes & Kettner or if your rich and can afford a dumble but I wont even get into that
