This has probably been said 1000 times. My Tweaker (which i love) is a little too loud for my bedroom (yes my man card has already been revoked). It would be awesome if there was a switch to reduce power, or even if I could pull out a power tube. Or put in some really wimpy power tubes to give me around 1 watt max output.
Read a post by Bruce stating that the magic happens with the Tweaker with the power tubes, and I agree. Turning up the volume makes a profound difference. After several hours research I heard too many bad things about attenuator tone suck. I considered buying a Weber, but ultimately decided against it.
I researched the Egnater Rebel and it's 1-20 watt power knob, and read a great write up by Bruce Egnater on how that works, which I actually understood. I realized that knob will not do what I want. I'd like to be able to put the master volume around 3:00-5:00. IMO that isn't unrealistic. I'm using the 'California Clean' setting (Fender). Gain way down, master volume around 10:00-11:00 (which is a tolerable volume level for me).
I don't know if an attenuator would be acceptable for this slight bump or not. I read a post saying that the degradation caused by the attenuator was greater than the tone added by pushing the power tubes a little harder.
Thoughts? Anyone with experience on a Tweaker. This is a great amp.
Thank you!
