[QUOTE="3 Mile Stone, post: 17234, member: 259"] When you turn the amp up to the volume level you are talking about what you are hearing is power amp tube saturation. You can only get power amp tube saturation by feeding it signal, hot signal, a lot of it. Then it is loud. If you cut the signal down in any way before it hits the power tubes it isn't the same sound. Putting volume pots or signal reducing elements before the power section just isn't the same. The only way to hear power tube saturation at lower volume is to use a attentuator like Ned mentioned. And if I'm not mistaken a Marshall Power brake is an attentuator that goes between the head and the speaker cab isn't it? [/QUOTE]
