What Attenuators with a Loop besides Fryette?

What else is available that has a loop?

You can make your own diy power station with a reactive load, then take the line out into your effects, then take the effects return to a power amp of your choice.

I have not seen any traditional attenuators with a loop, only reampers like the power station, waza TAE, etc.

Bad Cat Unleash if you want a much shittier version of the Powerstation

Love the PS 100 for this because it also has the second channel which I use for a bit extra punch when I’m not hearing “me”. The foot pedal is nice.

Can confirm.

Boss Waza Tube Amp Expander has a loop...and a lot of other stuff!

 

[Bad Brain]

What power amp would you guys suggest? I think I’d want neutral, compact, low power

The Fryette is able to have a loop because it's not really an attenuator in the true sense of the word. It's a combination of a reactive load and tube poweramp built into one device. The effects loop is placed between the reactive load's line level out and the input of the power section which is the only real way it can exist.

No standalone attenuator can give you an effects loop because it won't drop the signal low enough to accommodate line level effects, and after that, it won't be able to boost the volume back up to tube poweramp levels from line level.

Boss Waza TAE is the only other thing in its league, except then it has all those additional digital things.

Power Station is the only way to go, IMO.

Just curious if there's a reason you don't wanna just get a Powerstation


I'll never be without mine again tbh

I have a Power Station, looking for an alternative.
