The Volume Box for Valve Amplifiers, attenuator? (Español)

[jorgepeterbarton]

not an attenuator. but at least its an affordable way of reducing volume. (ps don't put it between power amp and speaker unless you like explosions.)

[Franledzep]

si tu ampli no tiene loop de efectos no sirve este pedal?

[VKzGibson]

does this box distort/change the sound of the amp?

thanks you

[InfiernoSupremo]

@VKzGibson this volume box improves the quality of sound of amplifier, because all amplifier is better when you turn up the volume master, but too loud, so this volume Box controls the volume master.

@InfiernoSupremo thank you for your answer my friend :)

Is this pedal for someone who has an amp that doesn't have a master volume like a Fender Twin, Hotrod, or Blues Jr

[InfiernoSupremo]

@SuperGuitarMark Good question, but remember, this volume box will work if you amp has send and return loop effects, so if your amp has both loops, it will work, and also like volume master.

@SuperGuitarMark i have a fender hotrod deluxe and it works magically for me

Hola, te hago una consulta, tu amplificador no tiene para controlar el send y return del loop de efectos? Porque en el mio lo tiene. De ser asi seria lo mismo que instalar este atenuador o no? Slds y gracias por subir el video no habia nada de esto por ningun lado!!

[InfiernoSupremo]

@pisciano87 No, este amplificador ht 100 de blackstar no lleva perilla, pero si un boton de 4db a 10db, por favor no confundir, the volume box, no es para aumentar o disminuir ganancia de los loop effects, este funciona exactamente como un potenciometro, para dar mas volumen o disminuir como un master, y la perilla del volumen master del propio amplificador, hace como si fuese de un canal, algo asi. Si, la verdad que no hay videos de este, yo me siento muy contento.

excelente video. Queria hacerte una consulta. Si en lugar de utilizar un "Volume box" al final de la cadena de efecto en el Loops de efectos del amplificador, usas un pedal de volumen "Pasivo", no se lograria el mismo proposito que se logra con el "Volume Box"?

Te hago la pregunta porque entiendo que un pedal de volumen pasivo, es teóricamente igual que un volume box... un simple potenciometro. Claro, entiendo que el pedal de volumen tiene que ser de baja impedancia.

Gracias

@sismipro2000 La verdad que no puse a pensar en eso, no sabria si tuviera el mismo resultado, sobre todo lo mas importante, que queme bien las valvulas sin que no chupe tono. No tengo pedal de volumen como para hacer la prueba, estoy pensando en conseguir una, para ciertas funciones.

Una perilla como volume box se puede decir que queda fijo, al momento de tocar, en cambio un pedal volumen, se presta a graduar cada vez que se mueva por casualidad. Cuestion de probar y comodidad.

Muchas gracias por el video, this helped me a lot in me choice.

Could you translate this or make an english verson?

[InfiernoSupremo]

@SuperGuitarMark I will put English subtitles, but gimme time, maybe on this weekend. thank you for your suggestion.

[SuperGuitarMark]

@InfiernoSupremo Your welcome and i can wait. Also, do you plug the volume box through the effects loop only or do you plug it in between the amp head and the speaker cab?

[InfiernoSupremo]

@SuperGuitarMark This Volume Box has to be plugged in loop effects, send and return, your amp head or combo should has loop effects. It's a recommendation from the store, I've never tried to plug between amp head and cabinet. This Box is like pedal volumen wth no switvh, only one knob, really it works.

[SuperGuitarMark]

@InfiernoSupremo Thank you soo much for the info. i really want to invest in a bugera 333xl but only problem was that it doesn't have an attenuator and i don't feel like spending over $100 for a attenuator.

[InfiernoSupremo]

@SuperGuitarMark Yeah, buy a amplifier 100 watts and it's not possible to turn up the volume is bad, the valve amplifiers work better if you turn the volume up, but with this Box works good, I was thinking to buy an attenuator, but looking for cheaper attenuators, I found this Volume box, I bought just for trying but after I was impressioned, I am happy with the results. You can try after buying your amp head, the volume box is from $15 to $25, depending from the store, I bought by Amazon USA.
