Review: Excellent passive devise to deliver proper line level or mic levels for direct recording - I have a 1975 Peavy Musician 400 amp head that can pump out 200W of power that I recently refurbished and it works great. It is all discreet solid state components. I needed a passive device that would attenuate the amp head output to feed directly to interface to a recording box that interfaces to my laptop recording software. The Power Soak PS-1 did the trick! It has adjustable Line level output and Mic level output that interfaced with the correct input levels to my recording box interface and the recordings I am making are HIGH quality audio. With the amp head feeding directly into the recording box you get a clean record. If you used a mic to the guitar speaker you would pick up whatever sound in your studio. With this I only get my guitar and it is a high quality recording. I can adjust my amp volume to where I need it for best performance and then using the PS-1 I can set the volume to the guitar speaker cabinet to desired easy listening level without the concert volume the amp is set to. Great device. Works exactly as I needed for my guitar recordings.
Review: A Tom Scholtz dream. wonderful, you will need two speaker cables, not instrument cables. - 12/14/23 update, Still love this thing. I have a hot rod deluxe, 40 watts. I have cranked the amp all the way up. I experience no heat problems even after hours. I’ve noticed a slight treble decrease but can compensate with the amp control. This thing emulates the growl you would get burying the volume on the amp. Caveat, you will not get full volume with the attenuator volume turned all the way up. If you end up needing it all you will have to disconnect it. There is no bypass. I had a cheap volume volume control bridging the effects loop. It sounded ok but was lacking something. This is like the Boston group's Tom Scholtz power soak, It is the 6l6 power tubes that need to be pushed. This does that. I have a fender hot rod Benson model. It is 40 watts all tube. I push the volume on the amp to 8 and that drives the power tubes hot and gives that crunch with soak taking it down to where you can hear the pick on the strings. disclaimer here. I have nothing to do with the company or any distributor related this product I'm just an old man playing his guitar in his den that does not want the cops to be called. You must have one, 🧐You will likely require a male to female SPEAKER cable and a male to male cable. NOT MUSICAL INSTRUMENT CABLES. 🥵 instrument cables cannot handle the power and are like to fry something. Well, y’all know what I mean

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best bang for the buck!

The PS1 is a resistance load passive attenuator and works with any tube amp up to 100 Watts (4, 8 or 16 Ohms) and your favorite speaker cabinet, plus provides a Line output with dedicated level control and an Emulated Mic output to send your signal to the mixing console. That's a lot on such a low price. It is built solid and all metal. It is a straight forward resistance load box. It is not a reactive load box and hence why the price. It simply takes the power from your amp, goes between your amp and speaker(s), reduces the load by resistance to lower levels. This unit does provide a direct out and an XLR out with speaker emulation that you can send the signal directly to a sound board/PA or other devices without mic'ng the speaker. But don't expect it to sound exceptional. It is good, not great. It does what it says it will do and at a price much less than others. There are other big name resistance boxes that cost 2-3x what this costs and does the exact same thing. It is not a reactive load box so do not confuse the two. Do a search online for the difference. Reactive load boxes contain resistors and capacitors designed to emulate the impedance curve of a speaker. The Bugera PS1 is simply resistors that soak up the wattage being output from the amplifier and dissipate it as heat (why the unit may feel hot if running a high wattage amp with this box turned way down to quiet levels). Resistive loads are simple, which tends to reduce their price. In saying that, there are many big names I could list here that sell the same type box for several hundred dollars and the Bugera is just as good IMO. Buy it! It has served me well, even in live performances using high end boutique amps.
