Alone and with Helix
I got this unit and hoped it would work for me, and it does.
I wanted the mic sim and line out to be before the the dampening,
and thankfully it was easy to convert it to this.
I did not want the line out and mic sim to follow the dampening.
I added a 25 k pot on the mic sim out to add more control. Now I use it with my Marshall 6100 head and a VOX AC-10 (with a speaker in mod), and am quite pleased. I do find that mic micsim signal kind of collapses. But when using the linesignal through a Behringer Ultra-G Di. box I have a beautiful full signal. Of course it would be nice to have the micsim do it, but the Behringer just sounds better in every way. For the price of the PA-100 and the Ultra-G and my mods, you have a package that is hard to beat. ;-)
I do run presence on 100% on the 6100, and raise the treble on the AC-10 but it's fine.
What this unit allows for also, is use of the lineout in different ways;
1: Load your amp into a Helix.
I have patches in my Helix based on a VOX AC-15, but if I want to have my real AC-10 replacing the modelling amp, i can patch it in via one of the loops (line level) and it works like a charm.
I hear my amp in real life, the FOH gets a lineout from the Helix with the real amp through the Helix, and then I play with IR's, mainly Celestion Blues and Golds - sweet!
2: Lineout + IR's
The lineout without the micmod can have IR's added (Moer Radar etc.) to add flexibility and quality to the sound. Even using my Digitech RP-155 just as a cabinet simulator opens up a lot of sounds.
So there are a lot of sounds waiting to be heard.
Also in a DAW. Cheers ;-)

I tested running a JOYO JDI-01 from the line out, and man what a difference to the mic-mod out it is, it really works now, the cab sim on the JOYO is sooo much better in fidelity, the AC-10 really shines through the mixer now. It also beats the Behringer in clarity (the Behringer only has 1 cab sim, a 4x12, the JOYO has a 2x12 combo sim and a 4x 12 sim), I am very very pleased with this new dicovery!

Excellent pour le prix
Très facile à installer et à prendre en main.
Excellente atténuation, utilisé sur ampli Engl 100W à lampe.

Work as intended
Cheap autenuator that does what it is designed to. However mine came with defect/hard to move volume knob. It works but it scratches everytime i need to adjust the volume. Could do with better quality controll

very good product
Does what it’s supposed to do. Much cheaper then other brands.
The fan makes sometimes a little bit of noise when playing on low volumes but I think this is inevitable. But this really a small detail.

Well priced alternative to many more expensive non-reactive units..
If you can’t justify paying many times more for a “Reactive” load box, but want an easy, simple, economic way to avoid upsetting housemates and neighbours, then this does the job well..
I was tempted to give it 5 stars, because it seems unfair to mark down such an affordable piece of gear for having slightly cheap feeling inputs/outputs.. But I wouldn’t want anyone to think they’re getting perfection at this price..

all i need
For the price, you shouldnt complain about anything of this device. Yes a 500 euro unit has more options(?) and sounds a bit closer to the original sound of the amp (like the rockcrusher i compared it with) but is that really worth the extra 430 euros? I'd rather have some cool pedals of guitar for that :-)! So in my opinion totally worth it! does what it needs to and for my (non-professional) use, all i need. Now i can play my ac30 without causing a local earthquake!

Seems to do the job okay, although it does have a noticeable effect on frequency responses at the extremes. With some dialing in and balancing between master volume and this it can soak a decently loud tube amp (joyo mjolnir, says 15W but I suspect more) and cut it back to room volumes where people can still have a conversation over you.

TOP attenuator
Prons: Price, quality of build, doesnt change the sound of the amp.
Cons: too big in size.
