That what made me unsure if they are good or not DefJef. I know what it's supposed to do but apart from the effects loop where do you plug an attenuator into an amp? I've seen amps with built in attenuators. But is an attenuator a transformer or just a form of volume reduction? It's an area I'm not really sure of and haven't really researched.

That's a really good call DefJef. An attenuator could be the answer MartinB, how much would you loose selling the laney? I've seen a JHS pedal sized attenuator for around £45 not sure how good it is? I’m not sure, the way things have gone I could potentially make a little on it, I got a Jazzmaster for a bargain price and traded it in for the Laney and a fancy cable, £450 for the JM iirc. reverb.com/price-guide/guide/2577Reverb price guide suggests I could get £450 or a bit more or less. There is a cable round the back going from the amp to the speaker, I guess this is where I could put an attenuator, between the amp and the speaker.

That could be a result then MartinB, what would you get in the place of the Laney? Or would you just stick with the Fender?

I would just stick with the Fender, it does the job for me.

As long as you don't suffer seller's remorse and your sure about the Fender. Tough choice, I don't envy you making that decision MartinB.

It’s definitely one I should give a lot of time to think about.

You wouldn't want to put one of those little mosky boxes between the amp and the speaker. No unless you want to fry your amp.
The Mosky 'Attenuator' is based on the EH signal Pad which is really a volume pedal without a 'pedal'.

I think it’ll be easiest to just keep the Fender and the Laney, the Laney is rated at 5W and can get way too loud for my room. Realistically I’d have to look for a 1W amp like the new Marshall and I don’t think it’ll be worth the bother of selling and buying.
