I have owned a Weber and a Ho attenuator (same design as the Ultimate attenuator); neither one can hold a candle to the Rivera RockCrusher - it's no contest.

Messages. 464. Reaction score. 516. Feb 22, 2015. #5. It does sound like you had it backwards. A power soak type attenuator is a voltage divider that presents an impedance similar to what the amp requires, eg the cab's impedance. Hooking it up backwards *probably* won't damage the amp's output transformer because it will still …

Don't overlook the Alex attenuator, they are great. I bought one over the Rockcrusher, why, well I found a used Alex attenuator before I found a used Rockcrusher. Only few complaints I have seen the rockcrusher, is that the step sizes are too big and that in the bedroom mode, some don't like it squashing down that low.

One of the main appeals of the Boss Waza was its ability to simultaneously use a real amp cab and IRs out to monitors. I was hoping that at low volumes the cab would retain the "amp in a room" sound while the monitors/IRS would give the sound of guitar speakers getting hit hard by an amp. In other words, the Waza could blend the best of …

The Rivera rockcrusher is way over built, the load resistor is huge and the unit is quite wide and deep. Not sure about the mini but Paul Rivera doesn't build junk, he knows guys are cranking old plexi's and superleads putting out 150 200 watts at clipping into them and he designs accordingly, I have not used the line out from the Rivera but I ...

skhan007. I own the original version of the RockCrusher (non-recording) and it's the best attenuator I've owned, out of probably a half-dozen. I called Rivera when the RRR came out hoping/praying that the EQ would affect the speaker outs, so I could make my higher wattage celestions have more of a Greenback tuning.

The Rockcrusher is probably going back. Yes it feels better than the Torpedo Reload but not much. The Torpedo Reload retains the highs much much better and overall tone. The Rockcrusher retains the feel of the amps power amp a bit more which is cool. Also the Rockcrusher does the same with the line out.
