What Do Rockboard Say?
With the Rockboard RPA100 Power Attenuator you can set your amp to your favorite sound - including high-gain and power amp distortion - and then reduce the volume on the speaker to acceptable levels for stage or rehearsal room without affecting the sound of the amp. This is particularly useful if you play a tube amp. The Rockboard RPA 100 Power Attenuator can be used to “tame” amplifiers with a power output of up to 100 watts.
With a choice of 4, 8, and 16 ohm connections, your amp will always see the correct speaker impedance, regardless of the type of speakers actually connected to the attenuator. You can even use the amp without speakers and listen to the signal through headphones. In addition, the RPA 100 Power Attenuator gives you the option of routing the output from your power amp via DI OUT or LINE OUT to mixers or audio interface applications, or to practice with the amp’s original sound using the headphone output.
For a more realistic sound, cab simulations can be applied to these additional outputs. For practice, you can mix in backing tracks or drum tracks from external audio devices via the AUX IN connection
