Re: [Harp-L] too loud

[Howard Chandler <chandler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The only easy and good thing you can do is disconnect one speaker.  That 
will get you 3dB down.

Other than that, there's not much else you can do without modding the 
amp (master volume)  or buying an attenuator. Other than you can put the 
speaker face down and cover it with a pillow.  The attenuator is your 
best bet.  Either that or get a smaller amp.

Good luck
