Hoping someone can help me out with some knowledge... Currently running my Tremoverb 2x12 combo in the 50w configuration: one 5u4gb, two 6L6 and then moving the lead for the 8ohm speakers to the 4ohm jack.
Here's the question: If I were to use an attenuator with half the power tubes pulled like this.... would I need a 4ohm or 8ohm attenuator? Also, can I use something like a Weber mini mass that's rated for 50w or do I still need a 100w rated??
I àm well aware of the sentiments that #1) I'm making a huge error by even running the amp in this configuration to start with, and that I should put all of the tubes back in and use it as it was designed.....Let the amp be the amp bucko... #2) That attenuators change the sound of the amp...if you want a quieter amp kid, go buy one instead etc...
I get it...but I'm just generally interested in what's the proper technical call here as far as right impedance/power in that situation?? Once my brain has posed this question, I need resolution, !?!!?
I will most likely just go with an 8ohm/100w attenuator like a Two Notes, put all tubes back in and call it a day...but now it's just really about understanding if 4ohm/50w is the right call here...or still 8ohm/100w??
Also any attenuator experience/suggestion comments appreciated... Right now I'm considering a Two Notes Torpedo or Dr. Z Air Brake.
Thanks in advance!!!
