Any idea on a street price?

I wish it had a 4ohm setting. My non master volume vintage fenders want to see a 4ohm load and my non master volume Vox wants and 8 or 16ohm load. It makes it hard to find an attenuator that will work with all those amps...
 
seems like there was a THD in the classifieds not very long ago, don't know if it sold?


think it was Danyeo that posted it?
 
Opinions?
I like the demo, but what do other folks think of what the Rockcrusher does to the tone?
Affected less than others? or no?

 
^ Demo sounds good, I do hear it affecting the tone a bit more compared to the Aarcom attenuator demo I heard. I wish in the demo they would have played a more varied line, so I could tell a bit more how the amp reacted with the rockcrusher in the chain.

I checked Rivera's site for an e-mail, but didn't find one. I may call them and ask if the rockcrusher can have a 4ohm output added and/or what happens if you use it on a 4ohm amp and speaker setup....
 
The Weber MASS 150 was a pretty solid attenuator, and didn't do anything terrible to the tone at all. I suggest trying one of those, or simply just not using an attenuator. Just keep the master low and you'll be good :D

for the Naked at low volumes, maybe just a boost of some sort instead of an attenuator.

I am pretty happy with that but I've been looking for an attenuator nonetheless. Future amps, etc. That's why the multiple ohm ratings is a must for me. I think I'm leaning towards the ultimate attenuator but would really like to pick up a used one...anyone? :D

I have a Weber MASS200 attenuator I'm not using anymore since I sold my 100 watt tube half stack. If you're interested PM me.
 
see if you can locate Richard Hasserlbock in fullerton He makes one called the heat sink. Hes a gear page and carvin forum guy.
 
I'm interested in the RockCrusher. I haven't seen anyone talk about it though.

The Alex Attenuator gets good reviews and isn't super expensive. You can look into a Bad Cat Leash as well. I had one of those and worked well.
