I've got a Peavey 5150 combo that I used to use when gigging that I seldom use anymore. About once a month I turn it on for 2-3 hours, maybe playing through it for 1/2 hour or so to keep the caps in shape. Problem is that this amp is soooo loud and has tremendous gain that it just can't be played at low volumes and sound right (even at a setting of 2 on the volume this dude is loud and doesn't really "sing" until you hit 5). I seem to remember years ago that Marshall made a unit you could put between the output and speakers to drop the volume levels, but still be able to use all the gain of the amp to keep that nice, saturated distortion you get when cranked up. Anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
