Description

The Tone King Ironman II Mini is the first time Tone Kings incredibly transparent attenuation has been available outside of one of their amps. Designed to handle up to 30w at 8ohm the this attenuator is a little powerhouse that is actually designed to go on your pedalboard.

Transparent Reactive Load

This is a very simple to set up attenuator. Just set this up between the speaker out and speaker cabinet within your rig and you are ready to go. The amount of attenuation is easily adjustable using the db control on top of the unit with up to -32db attenuation available which is enough to take loud gigging amps to bedroom levels.

Because of its reactive load design that tunes itself to the incoming signal you get next to no difference in tone when using the attenuator or not. No more lost tone just because you didn’t want to annoy the neighbours.

Load Box

One really great use for the Ironman II Mini is a way to load any 30w 8 ohm amplifier. What this means is that when set to -32db you can actually disconnect the speaker cable muting your rig and letting you run out of the line out on the Ironman to your DAW running a cabinet sim.

Solo Mode

One of the reasons you will want to use an attenuator is that you have the perfect amount of gain and saturation but need to lower the volume. So why when you want to go in to a solo would you want to throw more in to the front end of the amp. Instead why not lower the attenuation on the fly…exactly like you can on this attenuator. Just press the Solo footswitch and it will drop either 3 or 6 db for that extra bit of volume.

Amp Cabinets

A speaker cabinet is responsible for turning your amplifier’s power into the sound you actually hear, and it plays a huge role in the overall feel and character of your tone. Different cabinet sizes, speaker types, and configurations can affect everything from low-end punch to clarity and projection. Cabinets can be open-back or closed-back, single or multi-speaker, each offering a distinct response and spread in a room. Whether paired with a powerful amp head or a compact setup, the right speaker cabinet helps define how your guitar sits in a mix and how it feels to play.

Amps

Guitar amps cover everything needed to amplify, shape, and project your guitar sound, from small practice setups to full stage and studio rigs. In this category you’ll find combo amps, separate amp heads and speaker cabinets, covering valve, solid-state, and hybrid designs, each offering a different feel and response. You’ll also see modelling and digital amps, built-in effects, footswitches, attenuation solutions, replacement speakers, valves, and essential accessories to keep an amp performing at its best. Whether you’re chasing pristine cleans, classic crunch, or modern high-gain tones, guitar amps and related gear are all about finding the right balance of power, tone, and control for the way you play.
