Attenuators

TAD Black Silencer Power Attenuator 8 OHM 150W

The SilencerTM is used to reduce output power and volume. Many popular rock guitar sounds are based on the well known sounds created by the guitar legends of the sixties and seventies. Guitar players cranked up their amps to full volume to be heard. Tube guitar amps do sound best when played loud because the output stage starts to saturate and delivers the most musical and harmonic distortion, wonderful sustain and a thick tone with overall response. This is what we all look for, but if a 50 or 100 Watt amp is played at full volume, then it gets so loud that you might damage your ears and you might annoy your audience, musicians or just your neighbors. The SilencerTM solves this problem.

Weber 100 Watt MASS. 2, 4, 8, 16 ohms, 0, 3db, and 6db treble boost, MASS bypass, line out, tone stack for line out, tone stack bypass, extra output jack, range switch. All controls are on the front panel. The MASS employs an actual speaker motor for the load to yield a realistic interaction between the attenuator and the output circuit of the amp. The attenuation is continuously adjustable from zero to over -70db using the speaker control and the range switch. By turning the speaker control to minimum (maximum attenuation), the unit may be used as a dummy load for testing or for DI use. 

*Requires adequate ventilation for proper operation.

MASS Lite 100 watt. 8 ohms. May be used on 4, 8, and 16 ohm amplifiers. Includes MASS bypass, line out, extra output jack, and range switch. This is one of our most unique MASS units in that it has two power level controls, one for the bass-mid frequencies and one for the upper mids-treble frequencies. They may be adjusted independently for the best tone at all levels of attenuation. These controls affect the actual signal going to the speaker, not just a line out signal like in our other units. So, it is like having high level tone controls. The controls are very effective and the tonal combinations are virtually infinite. Because a MASS motor is employed, a more realistic interaction between the attenuator and the output circuit of the amp occurs. The attenuation is continuously adjustable from zero to over -70db using speaker control and the range switch. Like all Weber attenuators, setting the speaker control to minimum (maximum attenuation), allows the MASS Lite to be used as a dummy load for testing or for DI use. The Mass Lite does not have the full DI tone stack like the standard MASS 100.

25 watt MiniMASS. 4, 8, 16 ohms, treble compensation, MASS bypass, line out. The MiniMASS employs an actual speaker motor for realistic interaction between the attenuator and the output circuit of the amplifier. The attenuation is continuously adjustable from zero to over -50db. By turning the speaker control to minimum (maximum attenuation), the unit may be used as a dummy load for testing or for DI use.
