Sherlock Audio: SpeakerValve Live Load Attenuator
Sherlock Audio: SpeakerValve Live Load Attenuator
The SpeakerValve is a live load attenuator that connects between any tube amp, up to 120watts,offering the player continuously variable control over the speaker’s output level,allowing players to get their “big ‘n loud” amp tone at more manageable volume levels.
The typical tube amp’s harmonically rich & saturated tone,that can normally be attained at ear-splitting levels,is retained intact by the SpeakerValve attenuator.This is made variably adjustable ,right down to bedroom volume levels, if required.
The SpeakerValve’s proprietary design offers the guitarist a more natural,organic sound, without imparting the dry,sterile tone associated with many attenuators.
The SpeakerValve also offers a Reducer output that can lower the amp & speaker output to approximately 75% less. For example a 50watt amp hooked to the SpeakerValve could easily be “turned into” the equivalent of a 13watter.
Each SpeakerValve is individually hand made in Canada By Gilles Grignon,designer of the SpeakerMate line of products.
