Description

Edit description

Unleash the full potential of your tube amp with the Audiostorm HotBox 130 Reactive, a meticulously crafted power attenuator that lets you crank up your amplifier for those coveted overload tones without overwhelming volume. Ideal for guitarists who crave genuine tube saturation in any setting, the HotBox 130 bridges the gap between live performance and studio perfection. Simply connect it between your amp’s output and speaker, and experience your amp’s natural sound at a controlled volume.

The HotBox 130 stands out with its stepped rotaries, a feature that guarantees robust power flow and reduces failure risk, unlike conventional rotaries which often compromise durability. Handcrafted in Manchester, UK, with premium components such as a custom-wound inductor and mil-spec power resistors, this attenuator promises unmatched quality and reliability.

Flexibility is at the core of the HotBox 130. With four reactive modes—Resistive, Blue, Green, and Cream—you can tailor your tone to be bright and tight, big and open, midrange-focused, or warm and full. Whether you're performing on stage or recording in the studio, this attenuator’s true bypass feature allows for seamless A/B comparisons, ensuring your sound remains authentic and uncolored.

Key Features:

Suitable for any valve amplifier up to 130 watts
Attenuation in precise -4dB steps
Four reactive modes for versatile tone shaping
True bypass for authentic sound comparisons
Functions as a Dummy Load for safe cab disconnection
Dual speaker outputs for easy setup
Handcrafted in Manchester, UK with top-tier components
Covered by a limited lifetime warranty with repair options
