Two simple plug-in attenuators

[Chicago Matt]

Those are pop rivets. Friday is the big day and I will let you know if it caught fire. And the attenuator exactly fits the back side of BP Fender amps and all the way in the ext. speaker jack.

Can't wait to hear back! I'm using the Bad Cat Unleash, but would love something simple that sounds as good.
Sounds like you know what you're doing!

Hi @Antoon , I was just wondering how your plug-in attenuators worked out once you tested them further?

They are built around the Switchcraft 227 jacks that feature a nice metal base plate to attach other stuff and the attenuator fits into the back panel of the amp. $20 part costs per unit.

I will report back on how they perform!

How do they work? Where is the Output? And there is no way they are 20 cents in parts - the wire has got to be about 5 dollars and the SwitchCraft Jack about $4.

Given how much design effort and parts went into the M2 reactive attenuator I’m pretty skeptical. And no offense to OP, posting all this stuff before even plugging it in and trying it is not confidence inspiring.

Does anybody now if anything came of this thread? The builder said he was going to give feedback. Did that ever happen? Like in another post I missed or something?

OP was active on here yesterday, so it looks like he didn't go up in smoke.
@Antoon - how did it go? We're a bit curious...
