Hi all,
I'm a recent join to TGP and a first time poster.
I just got a new Aracom attenuator last week and it's taming my FUCHs ODS 50 and Groove Tube Soul-O 75 very well. Still don't hear any furries, but I'm not as discerning as some and my wife and cat are VERY happy!
I did discover a cool use for an attenuator that others probably know, but since I didn't, I thought I'd share it with those who might not.
The ODS 1x12 combo has only 2 speaker outs; 4 & 8 Ohms. Both my Tone Tubby 2x12 cab and the onboard Eminence 12" are 8 Ohms. Also, the TT is less efficient than the Eminence, so I put the 4 ohm out into the Aracom on 4 Ohm input and 8 Ohm output and ran that to the Eminence. The 8 Ohm out went right to the Tone Tubby.
Now, using the attenuator, I can balance the Eminance to be the right mix for all three speakers together. Fun!:D
