Hello prs people. I recently bought a Mt15 amp and love its sound. I've had several amps over the past decade but even my 50w Engl and 30w Egnater weren't as loud as the prs. BTW I'm using a 212 vintage 30s cabinet. My band's rehearsal room is quiet big but I can't use the lead channel in any setting louder than it's minimum.
Do you have tips for lowering the volume? The following I've thought of. What are your opinions?
1. Replacing the power tubes to maybe 6v6. Is it possible and does it lower the volume?
2. I've replaced the v3 tube with an 12ay7 (5751). The gain knob of the lead channel is now much more versatile, but there's no change in volume.
3. Should I replace another preamp tube?
4. What about power attenuators? They seem to be a pricey way of achieving my goal.
5. I put an eq in the amps fx loop and lowered the volume this way. It's working but of course changing the sound.
Thanks for your help guys.
