[jazz_guitar] Xotic EP or Xotic RC
tling98
It's easier for me to get a clean boost for my large amplifier rather than buying an expensive attenuator like the THD Hot Plate. I heard they drive amps hard anyway, and I'm not sure how to connect it to my amplifier that has minimal inputs.
Someone even mentioned in previous post that attenuators don't sound good. I'm simply trying to get the clean sound of my vintage amp at volume noon down at a much lower volume setting. BTW, the amp only has a volume and tone control.

From what I remember of the tubes he posted, there's no "down" to go.
Your idea is really good, though - one we more often overlook.
As for his unresponsiveness - cest la vie.

L.M.
For those of you who like to hack into the electronic circuitry of the
amps, there's an interesting article in the October issue (#231) of Circuit
Cellar (I'm not afiliated with the mag., just a subscriber). The title of
the article is: "Digitally Controlled Amplifier - Connect Vintage Analo to
Modern Digital Tech".
It describes the building of a Vacum Tube amplifier with the power supply of
it digitally controlled using the input signal of the amp as the control
signal. It increases the efficiency of the amp greatly while the signal
being amplified is fed directly to the the analog circuitry (the
amplification process is not digitally modified).
If you are interested and are not a subscriber, you can get a PDF copy of
the article for a nominal fee (I don't know how much but I believe is less
than $2).
Go to circuitcellar.com for more info.
Hope this help someone in the group.
