It is much different than a THD or Weber.
If anyone uses this thing what are your thoughts

Sorry for reviving an anchient post here, but...MKB wrote:I recently built a copy of the Airbrake, it's fairly easy to find the plans on the internet. It's also cheap to build except for the bedroom volume control, which is an expensive 100W rheostat. I wanted one mainly to kill the power a little on a 2466 so I can get the master up above 5 without killing our cat. 8) It does this very well, I'm fairly happy with it. I also used it at a gig over the weekend and it helped a lot. I plan to build one in my 2X12 cab as soon as I order the parts.
Concerning the impedance settings, both Dr. Z and Ken Fischer claim that you don't have to be too concerned about impedance switching with the unit, but the Dr. Z manual suggests you switch your Marshall to 8 ohms impedance when using the Airbrake with a 16 ohm cab. I used a 16 ohm cab with the Airbrake copy and a 1987 clone head for a 4 hour gig with no issues at all (with the head set to 8 ohms).
Generally speaking ya, I wish it wasn't necessary. I keep mine only to be considerate to others I play with. I do play with one group of people where volume is no object, that's definitely the most funsurfnorthwest wrote:This is a pretty old thread that got dug up. For the record attenuators suck.
