Marshall Powerbrake PB100 (Mint Condition, Like new) Power Attenuator
The Powerbrake would be considered brand new if not for the fact that it was used a hand full of times.
Powerbrake was stored in climate controlled, smoke free home and never left my music room. Never used for gigging. I have multiple amps and never used this item maybe only once per year.
List price was $385 for this item and due to the condition, rareness, and the fact that this item is the
closest thing to new you will find on the internet or your local music store I'm listing it for $330.00.
There are no blemishes at all on this item (see pictures) and has little to no use on it.
The item is tested and works great.
Get that famous Marshall overdriven amp sound at reasonable listening/recording levels!
The pure, unadulterated tonal majesty of a fully cranked all-valve Marshall is something that every
guitarist should experience on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, the awesome levels of volume this produces makes it totally impractical for most everyday
situations. What you really need is a device that will absorb some of the amp's energy without affecting
its natural qualities of distortion, tone and feel.
The Powerbrake is that dream device, providing full control of the level between your amplifier and
speaker without squashing any of the dynamic feel and tone. This totally roadworthy box links between
your amplifier and either one or two cabinets.
A rotary dial on the front panel gives you eleven (11) level selections in 3dB increments, This allows
you to go from unchained, full stage volume, right down to bedroom or apartment level in an instant --
even with the amp's Master Volume on maximum.
No external power supply is required, since the Powerbrake's reflected inductive load circuitry eagerly
soaks up the amplifier's power. It then dissipates the resulting heat via a reactive fan which
automatically responds to temperature increases created when you use greater attenuation levels.
With the Marshall Powerbrake you can drive your amp to the limit without losing control -- or your
hearing!
