Elevate your guitar playing experience with the Mesa/Boogie POWERHOUSE Reactive Amp Load Attenuator - 4-ohm, a state-of-the-art tool designed for musicians who crave the full-throttle tone of their tube amps without the ear-splitting volume. This innovative device integrates a dynamic reactive load circuit, preserving the integrity of your amplifier's tone and feel across all volume levels, whether you're practicing at home or performing on stage.

The POWERHOUSE is rated for amps up to 150 watts and offers five distinct levels of power reduction, ranging from no attenuation to a whisper-quiet -16dB. For even quieter sessions, the infinite reduction capability lets you fine-tune the output to your exact preference. The built-in 3-position voicing switch, featuring normal, bright, and warm settings, allows you to sculpt your sound to perfection.

A versatile Speaker/Load switch gives you the option to use your physical speaker cabinet or rely on the POWERHOUSE’s internal reactive load for silent operation. When it’s time to lay down tracks, the dry line output, complete with independent level control, provides a pristine signal for impulse response loaders or re-amping.
