Kong NightShift Power Soak
Silence!
Anyone who loves the sound of their tube amplifier, but at the same time appreciates their neighbors or roommates, is faced with a problem. Unfortunately, the amp only sounds really cool when it's loud and the bottom shakes under your feet, meaning the tubes reach saturation.
But don't despair straight away: If you don't want to put unnecessary strain on those around you, you can enjoy the sound of your amplifier rumbling at full speed, while a small miracle device ensures that the loudspeaker sounds gently or falls silent completely and the signal is at line level finds its way into a completely different device.
sound, sound, sound.
So how to play quietly but keep the sound you love? The solution, as is so often the case in these times, is an Anglicism - or its two: a so-called "attenuator", also known as a "power soak", is a device that reduces the brute force of the output signal at your speaker socket Amps reduced (attenuation = damper) and the sound character of the full tube distortion is passed on to the connected loudspeaker unchanged, but much quieter. Some of the energy that makes the signal so loud is converted into heat (power soak). Don’t worry, “soaking” won’t affect your hard crunch!
Load!
But that's not all: To prevent your amplifier from being damaged, you usually need to connect a loudspeaker whose electrical resistance is required by the amp's circuit. When home recording or in the studio, there isn't always the right box available or none at all. This is where the load function comes into play. It uses the 8 or 16 ohms set for a loudspeaker , so that almost every commercially available amplifier can be operated safely without a speaker.
The carefully regulated killer sound that you have added to your amplifier can be forwarded at any time either from the symmetrical XLR output with ground lift or the conventional line out with level controls to a suitable end device of your choice - be it an interface , a mixer , a cab simulation or dad's old 4-track cassette recorder.
So there are no longer any delicate children's ears, sensitive neighbors or stressed-out partners standing in the way of your GEILER-S🤤UND face. We wish you unrestricted shredding in all situations and at any time of the day or night!
