Hello steve,
The speakers arrived here incredibly quick and very safely packed, thanks!
I already burnt them in a little and then made some testfiles. It is absolutely amazing how close the amp sounds recorded with maximum volume compared to the full volume reduced setting, compensated with higher mic pre gain. It would be very hard to tell the attenuated version apart from the loud one and i will not be afraid to use even the quietest setting for my daily work as a studio musician.
Now the problem with too much volume is being solved, i need to work on some other issues:
with my vintage champ cranked, the fully attenuated version actually is so quiet you can hear the guitar´s strings played acoustically through the microphone setup directly in front of the speaker – what a luxury issue. 😉 i am looking very much forward to cranking all of the great amps that i did not touch during the last years because i wanted to keep my hearing intact.
Thanks so much for being a big help in the process and making such a great product. in my eyes and ears this is truly a quiet revolution.
All the best from Berlin,
Johannes
