Yes!
Has anyone used one? I like the idea...can be used also as a reverse attenuator and make smaller amps louder. If it works like it says it does then it's a pretty nifty product.

The Power Station is really good. I’ve had one of the V1’s for a couple years now. The feel of the amp is still there, even at heavy attenuation levels. Bonus points for being able to Reamp low watt amps. I’ve turned my MiniMat into a 50 watt monster. It’s awesome. Never used the effects loop. But I have run a Satellite Eradicator tube preamp directly in with decent results.

The power stations have gotten quite a bit more expensive since I got mine :shocked:
I have heard really good things about the Iron Man mini too.

Yeah that Ox looks awesome but also its a lot of dough for my first attenuator rodeo. The speaker simulator stuff for direct recording seems chill, though.

ANYWAY....thanks for all your feedback everyone. I scored a scorching deal on a Rivera Rock Crusher from a friend that is worth at the very least checking out even if I resell it later. Comes with good reviews too....we shall see.

Best ones are built by a guy in Vancouver called Ho. He built mine, and modded it later on for me too. Nice guy, certifiable electronics genius. Pretty sure the Ultimate attenuator is his design, but can't vouch for who builds them.
I trust my 62 AC30 with it, and I ran a 100W Marshall Super Bass with it to great effect. Sounds awesome, stops the paint peeling off the walls.

Dear Bongo, No.

I used an Aracom with a Germino Fillmore 100 and I thought it was the bees knees. I played it on a large stage and it really worked well. I could really open up the throttle on the amp and not blow everyone off the stage.
