Is that the 25 watt minni mass or the 50? I want the 50 watter for my 40 watt ht-40 but am afraid I wont be able to dime the amp and attenuate it to tv levels.Les Western wrote:Nope, it's an HT-20. But the Weber attenuator works great. I can push the amp hard and keep the volume relatively low. It's also one of the best values for an attenuator.
Thanks, Im glad to hear it likes your blackstar. The 50 should be ok. I usally wont dime it either as I like the tone with the vol aroun 3/4 up. Webber is the only comapany that tells you to use twice the attenuater watts that im aware of. It must just be a precaution.Les Western wrote:It's the 25-watt MiniMASS. The HT-20 is of course 20 watts. I was a little worried that the attenuator wouldn't have enough capacity. But from my experience it works fine. I can run the amp full bore and dial it down to bedroom levels. However, that dynamic might change with a 40-watt amp and you might find a higher attenuator wattage to amp wattage is needed. I don't know. You might want to research that a bit more. I find that my HT-20 retains most of its tone even when attenuated down around 2 on the MiniMASS dial. The attenuator has a switch that adds more treble and I keep that jacked to the max all the time. Meanwhile, I use an MXR EQ in the effects loop all the time too. I find that it really improves the overall tone of the HT-20, especially in the high end. So that EQ might also be helping out the attenuator. Overall, the Weber has turned out to be the perfect choice for this amp. I'm glad I didn't spend extra money for the 50-watt version, which is twice my rated wattage. Good luck!
