I'd just be concerned that those small single enders normally don't sound the same as bigger amps. In most cases they're not really a way to get the sound of a big amp cranked at lower volumes, they're a way to get the sound of a small amp cranked. Which is fine if that's what you want, but not the way they're normally advertised... :laugh:
This is true in many cases, but not all. My Studio 2, sonically, can go tit-for-tat with any of my bigger amps.

Yeah absolutely, you obviously need to treat each case on its own merits. :)

Koch Studiotone XL

I've just picked up a used Koch XL - its a quality piece of kit.  I can attenuate down to some very quiet levels AND I have a balanced XLR that I can feed into my interface/DAW.

Thanks for the suggestion - v/happy!
