as for your questions about power attenuators, there is a cheaper, and possibly better alternative. Look into Weber power Attenuators http://www.tedweber.com/atten.htm they come in many different models so you can get what you need and they are cheaper than the THD hotplates and the marshall power brake for sure. worth a shot in my opinon. Good luck and sweet amp

Well, I think you would benefit greatly if changing the tubes. First change preamp ones, and them when you collect the money change the power tubes at once.
Oh and, congratulations on your new amp! -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Good luck and sweet amp Wow! These look great! They're still pretty pricey, though, but they're much cheaper than the Power Brake and Hot Plate! Not to mention that these actually look like they're better quality, and much more adjustable. Muchos gracias! The Mark III is 15 watts in the "Class A" mode and 85 in the "Simul-Class" mode. So, I would have to keep the amp on Class A mode, or get a 100W or higher model, if I did get one of these. Hmm... Well, I think you would benefit greatly if changing the tubes.

I though that the power tubes were typically changed more, but either way, I'll still need to save for while.

Really? The preamp tubes first? I though that the power tubes were typically changed more, but either way, I'll still need to save for while. In the normal case one would change the power tubes more frequent but since noting was ever changed a good guess is that the preamp tubes needs to go aswell. And like Ivan suggests, preamp tubes first, unless you can wait and get it all done in one go which would be the best. -------------------- My bands homepage
