where did your OD journey take you?

Good points. I've got a weber attenuator, and while I don't completely understand the technology, it uses a speaker motor to present a reactive load to the amp. Then on top of that it has dual attenuator controls--high & low, so I can compensate (basically a tone stack) if I think the sound is being altered. To tell you the truth, I haven't found (heard) the need to--I dial the top and bottom down the same.

I had the Webers also. I used them for months without question. Then one day I had a buzzing distortion I could not get rid of so I removed everything from the chain for diagnostic mode thinking. Just guitar, amp, speaker.

I was absolutely stunned to realize what the attenuator was doing to my tone. Not knocking Weber stuff, great gear, but I cannot ever go back. I sold the attenuators immediately and couldnt' be happier with the sound. It's kinda like using salt on all your food......you never really know how good the food itself is until you throw away the salt.
