Yep I just couldnt remeber how to spell it lol
Answer:
Thank you to the mod that has fixed the spelling of the thread name.
Answer:
no problem
anywho...somewhere recently Brent posted a link to a site with instructions for building your own attenuator. I believe that design will work with your amp.
edit: here we go
/forum...ght=attenuator
brent lists the parts and a link to Major Tom's schematic.

If that's a combo amp, you need to be using the correct impedance output...
You can pick up an old Altair or Scholtz attenuator on ebay for less than 100 bux. Some attenuators are impedance-specific, some are adjustable. If its impedance specific, its very important to get the correct one. The DIY ones I have posted about before would not handle the power of that amp using distortion tones.
Answer:
yeah its a combo but its only a 1x12 and it has 2 12ax7 preamp tubes and 2 6l6 power tubes but there's no effets loop and correction its coming out of the 8ohm speaker out and i got phots of the amp on ehre in the amp forums somewere asking what this does or something and i think it has a photo of the back if you need it.

The old altair ones work quite well. I use one of these.

I don't know about making an enourmous one. Id go with buying an altair or a scholtz.
Answer:
Does anybody have links to any of those or know were i can find them to look at?
