Description
The RockBoard RPA 100 Power Attenuator is a solid tool for players who want full amp tone-especially tube amp saturation-without the full volume. Whether you're dialing in power amp distortion or just trying to control stage levels, this lets you push your amp hard while keeping your speaker output manageable. It works with amps up to 100 watts and includes selectable 4, 8, and 16 ohm inputs, so you're covered no matter what impedance your amp or cab runs at.
Beyond basic attenuation, the RPA 100 adds a lot of flexibility. You've got DI and Line Out options for sending your tone to a mixer, interface, or headphones, along with onboard cab simulation for more natural-sounding direct tones. The AUX input lets you plug in backing tracks or a metronome, which is great for personal practice. It's a really well-rounded tool for anyone balancing stage volume with tone, or just trying to get the most out of their amp in different playing environments.
