For the wife.....
Watch it...you'll get accused of forcing him to turn his amp up louder.
Miroslav has been suggesting that you negotiate with the wife a time when you can track at higher volume. Most of us who have families and do just that.
Yeah man...all I'm trying to suggest is for him to try some alternatives before buying a solution, because IMHO (YMMV...etc)...most amps sound better when recorded at louder volumes.
Granted...it can be a PITA for the loved ones and the neighbors...but it does make a serious difference in the tones you get.
I know a lot of folks will agree with that.
