I claim the attenuator is a "harp tweak" . It lets you turn your stock  
amp further, which helps drive the power tubes to saturation, without  
feedback. And its an expensive tweak at that. Lowering the preamp tube  
gain is another way of doing this. Different approach but same goal.  
And cheaper.
