Found this from the Bugera manual...EMULATED MIC balanced XLR output mimics a microphone in front of a speaker cabinet, ideal for signal feed to PA/recording consoles. The Line Out jack doesn't have emulation.

Had one and it works pretty darn good. For $80 or so its highly worth it. Tames things without messing up the tube sound and feel very much. I will note that getting a $200 or so attenuator like a Weber MiniMass gives much better control and improves sound.

What I don’t get is what’s the difference between using an attenuator or just cranking up the amp and using the volume control on the guitar?
@geartalk87113 ай бұрын
It's all about where the signal is attenuated from (the guitar, amp head, or speaker cab). Lowering it at the guitar lowers the amount of signal getting to the amp - which will make the amp respond differently. Lowering the signal from the head to the speaker is the best way to keep the amp response as similar to a truly "cranked" amp as possible.

The Double Inputs date from the 1950s…when a musician might plug a microphone into one jack in smaller venues. Another option, a 2nd guitarist or bass player would also plug into the same amp. The 6G Bassman of Fender has a separate Guitar and Bass input with different tone stack values for each. Amplifiers became popular and used indoors by country/western musicians (Steel Guitar a necessity) guitar players for larger indoor venues as 1) larger audience equals more money and in such establishments, people would dance. It’s not to say that amps prior to this were unknown, a necessity for Big Bands, but with volume more exposure at venues that were televised…in or outdoors. With the volume, the guitar starts to displace the Saxophone as the solo instrument. Leo Fenders Advertising pictures show the progression from Country, Western, to Dick Dale Surf, Instrumentalist, and then caught flat footed with the British Invasion. From guys in Cowboy Hats, To a Scuba Diver carrying his amp to the waves, to non vocal groups. It’s said the Deluxe was the most recorded amp, but Standel Amps Fenders neighbor to the in El Monte, CA has some off the most famous recordings (plus Leo borrowed a number of ideas from Standel, from knobs on the front of the amp, amp cab piggyback on the separate speaker cab, use of JBL speakers).

I have one these, one of the older ones ( maybe 2001 or so), with a Celestion Vintage 30 speaker. I've had it a long time and try to keep American made NOS tubes in it. I think it's probably the best sounding I've ever owned and I've owned many amps over the years, most of them Fenders. I recently bought a JOYO American Sound pedal on eBay which is supposed to emulate Fender Deluxe amps, and does a pretty good job (I paid $38 for an open box unit), but the interesting thing about this pedal is that it has a 3 band eq! I think it's a fantastic pedal that really brings out the best of a 65 Deluxe RI.

@GeorgeHeil-gg6wv7 ай бұрын
Used mine one gig so far, on a Marshall DSL 20C in a small club for NYE. It worked well, no heat issues ( it is passive), though each increase in attenuation required some adjustment in the 3 band EQ. With a simple untethering of the amp's speaker cable I was able to connect directly to the Bugera setting on top of the combo cab. A dab of white sight pain on the face of the rheostat knob makes it a lot easier to see.
@SammyInnit4 ай бұрын
Is the DSL not a master volume amp?
@GeorgeHeil-gg6wv4 ай бұрын
@@SammyInnit Valid question. There are individual channel gain & volume pots, so no not a true "master" volume. For my purposes the "ultra" gain channel is useless, so this necessitates my utilizing the volume & gain settings of the "normal" to achieve my base tone, which unfortunately is "too loud" for some of the smaller venues we are booked into. Not an issue in larger or outdoors.
@SammyInnit4 ай бұрын
@GeorgeHeil-gg6wv I see. I'm currently looking for an attenuator. I have a 1984 JCM800 which is a master volume but you can tell, it just isn't as responsive turned down. I've just purchased a 1987X that has no master at all. I'd have thought it's all straight forward but it doesn't seem to be.

At GC I preferred the regulat 12" Reverb. This one IMHO did not sound great. I snagged a 5 Watt hand wired tube amp- Gries Amplification for $400. Sounds amazing- every bit as good if not better then this and dead quiet. At home I can't get past 1/4 volume- not even close to it- maybe 1/6th to 1/8th...and with my Y cable, I power two speaker cabs. That gets met to 70dB's. We are all 10 feet away from each other like a triangle pattern. It's in my living room and I use my HomeTheatre for backing tracks- nice sound. I can add a 3rd amp for Stereo. Y is not stereo. FYI, a $20 dongle gets your phone into your HT via Bluetooth- well worth it!

@@BryanClark-gk6ie True but in addition, there are other considerations. The design puts components too near each other- not enough shielding. Changing the pots and tubes also helps.

For $100 it does the job. This was the first attenuator I ever bought and I still have it as I think it's kind of cool to look at and makes a nice paperweight. Once you have a reactive load attenuator you'll forget all about resistive load attenuators hooked up to your amp. Save up and buy a reactive loadbox. It is worth it.
