Attenuator question

[Rich_T]

Right, say I want to run a full stack, but with an attanuator, would I need two?

(I know if I want less volume I should ditch a cab, but just for arguments sake)

No, as all the attenuators I've seen have two speaker outputs. However you would have to ensure the attenuator is appropriate to the load. So with a Hot Plate, assuming you're using 16 ohm 4x12s, you'd need a 16 ohm HP for 1 cab, and an 8 ohm HP for 2 cabs.

Re: Attenuator question

Ah gotcha. So on the JMP, would I select the 8 ohm output?

For two 16 ohm cabs, yes.

With MassLite you dont need to worry about the Ohms and it has two out puts, so yeah with masslite you wont need neither.

I have a 100w Weber Mass and that has 2 speaker outputs and Ohmage selector, so that could be a good option

Oh gawd, don't tell me its for sale! I really can't afford it!

Re: Attenuator question

I'm pretty certain I want to sell my 16 ohm Hot Plate, as I've sold the only amp I was using it with and I could use some sponds for other purchases. It's probably not your best option if you want to switch between one and two cabs though.
