The Tone King Ironman II Mini is specifically designed to tame medium power valve amplifiers. The compact attenuator handles amplifiers up to 30 watts into 8 ohms and reduces the output volume of the amp without compromising sound quality. To achieve this, the Ironman II mirrors the impedance curve typical of guitar speakers to faithfully reproduce sound and attack. The overall volume is simply reduced in six switchable steps , while the Range switch with HI and LO modes provides two different power reductions for each position of the Attenuation Level control. The included SOLO footswitch provides the option to give a switchable boost to the signal for leads. Furthermore the Ironman II Mini features a Presence switch with three steps for controlling treble and compression, while the rear line out allows for seamless integration on stage and in the studio.
Tone King Ironman II MiniI bought this to tame my PRS MT15. Even if i turn it to 7W mode and apply the full attenuation the Ironman offers, I can still only barely open the volume for the lead channel. For some reason I can open the clean channel a bit more. But it definitely helps and Im happy with my purchase. I also like the fact that it doesnt require power to work so one less cable on the floor.
