Bugera PS1 Passive 100-Watt Power Attenuator

Soak Up the Power of Your Stack with the Bugera PS1 Passive 100-Watt Power Attenuator

You love the sound of your 100-Watt all-tube amp when it’s cranked; that sweet, crunchy sound supporting you as you soar into the tonal stratosphere! But now, back down to Earth... Wouldn’t it be great if you could get that same amazing tone at a reasonable volume level –or at any volume level? The PS1 POWER SOAK is the answer for tone-craving guitarists everywhere, letting you drive the output tubes of your amp hard enough to squeeze out every drop of tone at any volume. The PS1 works with virtually any tube amp up to 100 Watts (4, 8 or 16 Ohms) and your favorite speaker cabinet, plus provides a Line output with dedicated level control and an Emulated Mic output to send your signal to the mixing console.

Multi-Impedance Operation

The PS1 POWER SOAK is designed to be inserted between your tube amp and your speaker cabinet. Just run a speaker cable from the output of your amp to the corresponding PS1 Amp Input jack that matches your amplifier’s operating impedance (4, 8 or 16 Ohms), and run a second speaker cable from PS1’s Speaker Output to your cabinet. Power up your amp and dial in your favorite sound, then adjust the large Soak knob to the ideal volume level. All the tone, without all the volume – it’s just that easy!

Dedicated Line Output

On PS1’s rear panel you’ll find a convenient Line output jack for connecting to an external power amplifier for running additional speaker cabinets, or to effects processing gear in professional applications such as the recording studio. The signal from the Line output does not have speaker/ mic emulation, but does feature its own dedicated Level control.
