    Hi there,

    I have a LPB 2ube pedal.

    You all know tubed amps have great tone at high volumes. But, not easy to play it loud at home!

    Is it O.K. to use LPB 2ube as an attenuator between my Marshall JCM900 amp and its speaker cabin to reduce the output volume for working at home ?

    Thanks for the answers, in advance…

    Rock on!

    that sounds like a recipe for disaster- the 2ube is not meant for power amp output.

    Well, allright. I didn’t really expected to, though. It would be written on the user’s manual, else.

    Thanks… Time to spend more money… for an attenuator.

    Rock on!

    Cryabetes is right, not only is the LPB2ube not ready for the power of the amps output, it would present so little resistance to the amp itself, that the amp would almost certainly overheat very quickly.

    Indeed, I’d be curious as to which would fail catastrophically first…

    Probably the amp, because things that cost more money seem to break quicker.
