Has anyone used their Herbert with a Palmer PDI-03 or PDA-04 or Sequis Motherload?
I have a 1 year old son who resides in the room next to my study / studio, therefore unfortunately cannot crank my beloved Herbert to reasonable levels at home. I want to use an attenuator for "silent" practicising, without resorting to using my POD (great for what it is, but frustrating when you have such an awesome amp in the same room). I know there will be sound quality compromises using this setup vs speaker, but to me it's got to be better than the POD!
My issue is surrounding the load rating on the Palmer / Motherload, which are both 100w. I know this is peak load, so perhaps the Herbert may not run at more than 100w continuously (if I keep the master volume below say 5), but want to check as I don't want to risk it.
Any other suggestions for attenuators (preferably with speaker emulation)? E.g. Bad Cat Leash, THD Hotplate etc etc.
Thanks in advance
