ARACOM PRX150-PRO POWER ATTENUATOR

Maximum tone at a minimal volume.

FOR: Preserving your neighbors’ sanity. Like a fine sports car, some amps need to be opened up before they hit their stride—but the volume makes this an ongoing challenge for amp lovers and soundmen alike. The PRX took the loudest non-master volume amp we could find down to conversation level with none of the tonal compromises we’ve noticed in the other units. The PRX features six switchable levels of attenuation, the lowest of which activates a volume control function. The built-in impedance converter allows you to mix and match heads and cabinets, a real convenience if your sound is based around a go-to amp or cabinet.

NOT FOR: Pete Townshend.
