This thing is excellent! I can crank up the volume on my amp all the way to get the awesome tube crunchiness, but then not blow out my ear drums at the same time! The big volume knob is kind of rough when turning, but I think that's because it's not a traditional pot like most knobs, and it still works fine without any issues.

I have been trying different distortion pedals for my Deluxe Reverb but could not find the right sound. Stumbled across the Bugera PS1 on YouTube and thought I would give it a try. Over-driven tube amp authenticity at any volume, what else can you ask for? I am very pleased with this little device and highly recommend it to anyone why needs to reduce the volume on their tube amp without sacrificing quality of sound. Ensure to use speaker rated cables going from amp to PS1 and PS1 to speaker. Adorama was the only place i could find this when i decided to purchase the PS1 and I had it the next afternoon. Great service and many thanks Adorama!
