Solid State Guitar Amp Forum | DIY Guitar Amplifiers

Hello to everyone,

I've got a solid state Peavey Studio Pro 112 from 1995. It delivers 65 W which is useful for gigs and rehearsal but too loud when I want to play at home.
Even with the volume of the clean channel at 1 it's much too loud and it's very difficult to get the sweet volume spot between 0 and 1 by adjusting the knob.

So I would like to know if there's a way to lower the volume (using attenuator, master volume ???) and how to do.

Thanks for your help.

Is the volume potentiometer logarithmic or linear? Does it have FX loop where you could insert a volume pedal? Can you use it with an alternative, less efficient, speaker setup at home?

Teemuk,

Thank you for your quick reply.

I don't know about the volume pot.
I don't have any other speaker / cabinet.

But my amp has an FX loop. As I already use a pedal volume for violoning effects I could fit a potentiometer in a little box connected to the send and return of the FX loop. Will this alter the quality of the sound? What do I need: 250K or 500 K logarithmic pot, resitors, caps?

OK,

After doing some research I found that a 25 K log pot would do the trick.
