Can I build an attenuator from this?

Post by nee »

Greetings!

Some years ago a techie friend built me a device whereby I could use the preamp of my red-knob Twin Reverb for DI recording, without having any sound from the speakers: I'd just plug it into the speaker socket. It's a 50W/10R resistor mounted on a finned heat sink.

Is there any way I can connect this inbetween the speaker output and the speakers to reduce volume? Or do I need the complete "L-pad" 2-resistor set-up?
