Getting the connection under the existing jack was a bear - be careful as you can see I bent a resistor connection. DIY at your own risk - this is not a complete 'how-to'. You can see the actual speaker connections remain unchanged.
I finally got around to modding my Class 5 to accept an attenuator - a Weber Mass. Taking advantage of the External Speaker Out jack and adding another jack (just to the right of the existing jack) that becomes the input for the internal speaker which takes a secondary red lead to the speaker...
Nice to have the options of a four-wire - I really want to do the 'Jimmy Page' on an SG - like this guy:
YouTube - Gibson SG Firebrand push/pull split pick-ups
I wish they made the hole bigger, because if you set the bridge down 'hard' (instead of floating it) it is out of alignment and a pain to change strings without removing it.
As far as tone without one goes - really? I can't hear a difference, but that is not saying much. I just reasoned that...
I just got one of these great amps, and it is fantastically loud - too loud for my apartment.
I want to attach a Weber Mass I have, and here are two ideas I would like given a once-over as I am no technician:
Most simple: cut the existing speaker wire, attach a 1/4 inch female standard plug...
I have an Egnater 20 watt that goes down to 1 watt and that is still too loud for my apartment (1 watt is like someone yelling) - so an attenuator really is needed in an apartment situation even for a 1 watt amplike mine of even the Zvex.
I am really wanting too also - got rid of the Pitchblack+ and am using a clip-on now, but I can hear the difference but can't get there w/o help. I am curious about the other version, the one that also has the microphone - would be cool for an acoustic and seems to have more flexibility.
I have quit and restarted so many times - findin' it tough though. I know for a fact it is the worst thing I injest by far... Been on apple juice as a replacement for a few days now, but the weekend and pizza is coming...
Great read - I learned a lot. It says the buffer can be put at the beginning or end - which is best? What is the difference between a buffer and a clean boost pedal?
Thanks for the article.
I like my Carbon Copy - nice and small with simple controls. if that appeals to you, the new Lovepedal Mini EchoBaby might bounce your G-string - http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/pedals/42856-love-pedal-mini-line.html
I don't like a lot of knobs and these are nice and small too. I like them, and hope for more of an in-depth review to see how they sound at different settings.

There was a better video I watched a couple weeks ago of this, but I can't find it anymore...
