I have an Aracom attenuator and a Dr. Z Brake Lite. The Aracom degrades the tone so badly that I don't use it; the Brake Lite preserves the tone, but even with the Remedy on half power, it is still too loud for playing around the house, and it was WAY TOO LOUD on the Z-Wreck. I'm not experiencing any tone degradation on the Stone Pony, even with the master voltage turned all the way down. Don't know if the cabs I'm using make a difference, but I'm running the Stone Pony through either a 16 ohm Z-Best with Greenbacks or a 16 ohm Bogner Ubercab. Sounds odd if you are "not" getting any tone degradation, even all the way down, if working properly, you would have a significant drop in power. I just played a Lil Elvis the other day, with P90s though, but below 3 on the Master I wouldn't even consider the tone usable Below was my setup, and I had the Weber Mass, and I got great tones at home levels I can only report what I hear. Except for the amp being quieter, I am not hearing any significant change in the tone of the Stone Pony when I turn the master voltage all the way down. YMMV, but the fact that the Stone Pony outperforms the Sommatone in this area is one of the reasons I am keeping the Stone Pony and selling the Sommatone.

WOW! How did I miss this one? VERY TOUCHY SUBJECT BUT EXCELLENT, I just aquired an Amp with Power Scaling its very very useful and while I cant talk about the B+ Voltages, and other tech talk blah Blah, I can tell you it does work well, I have The above mentioned VVR Products to Go on one of my Plexi Cathode Biased and One Fixed Bias Amp..... maybe one of my Z's ?? I would Love to see the Doc step in this Direction, He would be the Man To make something good, REALLY DARN, GOOD!

+1 here on the POWER SCALING!!! I have OFFICIALLY DECIDED! To Scale my GALAXIE! ;D I have a 30 Watt Class A Plexi Circuit which will be a Great Addition to this little screamer! The Galaxie rocks hard but is very Robust in Volume . The Doc Should Make this a Standard option on all amps 30 watts and more , Im wanting to see a full blown Ultra High Gain 50 watter one day with scaling. Now If i can just get Doveman to walk me through the Install ?? I have both devices in hand ready to go.
