Speaker Soak power tube attenuator for Peavey Delta Blues/Classic 20/30/50/6505
Nov 14, 2018
Tube soaked goodness (after a bit of wiring on my Peavey Delta Blues)
** After about 6 months the volume/level pot became scratchy and unusable in a live music/gig situation. If you are only practicing with it and not having to turn it up/down, it may be ok for you. I ultimately went with a Behrenger (sp?) and am more than happy with it. If you just want to play at bedroom levels and set it once and forget it, this piece may work for you.
I’ve read good and bad reviews on the Speaker Soak. Most of the bad seemed to be that the user was using an instrument cable instead of a speaker cable (or that they were using it on a Marshall stack etc).
The piece shipped faster than expected (being a one man shop myself, I understand lead times). On my way home I picked up a speaker cable from the local guitar shop.
I found when I went to try it out that unfortunately it is not “plug and play” for the peavey Delta Blues 210. You have to do a bit of wiring work to the speaker cable (not the amps cable) by splicing in some male/female connectors. Make sure you have .157 male connectors to fit the OEM female speaker connectors.
Might be a product idea for the manufacturer as an add on piece.
After about an hour of playing dialing it in between 12 and ultimately settling in around 6/7, it does get “warm” but nowhere near warm enough to not be able to touch it.
