Jet City Jettenuator and othe Attenuators

[maufic]

I've been looking for a good attenuator for a 100 watt amp and I came across the Jettenuator, which seems to be rsonably priced for what it provides (described below). Anybody here have any experience with the Jettenuator? I know there are a lot of attenuators out there, but can anyone recommend an attenuator at the same price point (~$240 U.S.), or is it worth stepping up to a badcat unleash etc. What does a $500 attenuator do that a $250 on doesn't?

Jettenuator
"Jet City's 100 watt attenuator is an excellent tool for both live and recording. Amp inputs at 4-, 8-, and 16-ohms makes Jettenuator more versatile than other attenuators. The continuous attenuation control lets you set the volume right where you want it. A line-level output is also included with its own level control. Use this to connect Jettenuator to an external power amplifier, or effects processors in professional applications.

Rounding out the feature set is the MicSim output. This balanced, XLR output simulates a microphone in front of a speaker, so you can attenuate your amp and send a great-sounding feed to the house, or your recording mixer. It’s like a direct box for your cranked-up tube amp."

I'm familiar with the Jettenuator but have not used one.

The Badcat is a very nice and interesting unit.

I assembled this thread which contains links to all MLP attenuator and related threads.

Weber Mass is certainly worth a look.

I've used a Weber Mass 100 for years and it is very solid...

I actually have access to both the jetcity(my brother owns one)and the unleash(I own this).

I never bothered to side by side them but I will say this the jetcity gets pretty hot.

Just pointing out the Unleash is an Attenuator, a Class D 100 watt transparent amp, a reamper, a post Output phase FX loop all rolled into one, with a direct/line out. In other words it doesn't matter what the wattage of the amp is, you set the tone you want on the amp, and let the Unleash control the output volume. THis includes making a 100 Watt amp, have it's cranked tone at low volume, or having a 1 watt amp do gigs.
