Well, I think this is the right place to put this.
I recently purchased a Weber MicroMass attenuator https://taweber.powweb.com/weber/micromass.htm for my Valve Junior.
This is a 15 watt max attenuator that is about 5 inches long and 4 inches deep.. roughly.. and seems to be quite strong in the build.
The cool thing.. Line out...
I am a home player.. and noone really wants to hear me but me.. so using the speakers when people are around is a no-no..
This line-out solves that problem with the Valve Junior!!
I think I am having troubles with my drivers in windows vista.. but I do hear a crackling at times thru the line-out.. I blame my computer not the attenuator for it...
You have two dials on this thing.. Lows-Mids and Mids-lows... you can Eq your sound this way or move them both together for same sound.
Setting both dials to 0 allows for line-out with NO speaker sound at all. Setting anyplace above 0 and you can have both, speaker and line-out working.
There is also a Bypass switch when you wish not to use the attenuator at all.
Basicly... to me.. it works..and works great... 5 stars
Although it states 8 ohms.. it suppose to work with 4,8,16 ohms compared to site. I still don't understand that part.. I have hooked it to both a 16ohm cab and 8 ohm cab with same effect.. right or wrong? I dunno..
here is a dumb clip...Valve Junior is cranked full in all clips.. first 30 seconds just me strumming thru the Line-out to computer... second 30 seconds is a mic'ed cabinet with the attenuator set to 3. and the last is bypassed , hearing the mic'ed cab with Junior blasting.

if you want silent Valve Junior to a line-out..get it!! if you want to crank that valve junior but the neighbors hate you... get it!!!
