![]() ![]() There are a whole swathe of reactive load boxes on the market, but the TAE takes things a step (or 16 steps) further thanks to the inclusion of it’s ‘Resonance-Z’ and ‘Presence-Z’ controls. By utilising a reactive load, the TAE ensures that your amp thinks it’s seeing a real speaker at all times, sounding and feeling exactly as you’d expect, allowing you to experience the awesome tone of your cranked amp at any volume level you desire. Attenuators have been on the market for years now and they often do a great job of the reducing the volume of your amp but introduce all sorts of artefacts and tonal compromises into the equation. The TAE’s all analogue variable reactive load allows you to run any tube amp (up to 150w) at that perfect, cranked level, whilst attenuating the actual volume back down to a sensible level without losing any of the tone, feel and response that you love about that cranked sound. This comes with the downside of ear-splitting volume levels that are becoming less and less appropriate for live and studio environments, especially in the age of amp modelling. This is the first time a product like this has been released with all these features together, making this a device very much worthy of the ‘high-end’ Boss ‘Waza’ label.Įveryone knows that tube amps sound best when they’re cooking, with the volume cranked for that much sought-after power tube saturation and dynamic response.
