Do you want to crank your All Tube amp to!?

Hey there, ive been thinking. if i where to have say a Fender Bassman Ri. 50W, if i put a light bulb, say 40 W, inbetween the speaker and the Amp would i be left with 10 W entering the speaker? Would this work, or have i got it ALL wrong!

Is that you, walters?

No. If you want it quieter, get a Weber Mass.

For one thing, you are comparing apples and grapes.......the light bulb only has resistance, no impedance. Similar concept, but the speaker behaves differently because of it's impedance.

But I hesitate to suggest that the light bulb would make your cab into a 90w speaker...... (if the speaker is reated at 50w)......just to be safe, I'm gonna say No this aint right! But something aint right about me, either, so FWIW.....
