Designed by Ken Fischer from Trainwreck Amps

The Dr. Z Airbrake is one of the most popular guitar amplifier accessories we have for sale! This attenuator is extremely versatile and whether you are in the studio, on stage, or simply at home jamming, it is a great choice for managing your guitar amp volume needs.  

On the stage, the DR. Z Air Brake is a useful tool for reducing your overall dB level during a performance. Sound guy or singer yelling at you to turn down? Well the Air Brake lets you keep your amp cranked while keeping your volume low.

At home or in the studio, the Air Brake comes in handy for reducing the volume while still letting your amp do what it does best, run the tubes nice and hot allowing for full output tube distortion.

The Air Brake also has a "bedroom" level control that, when selected, will allow for fine adjustment and maximum attenuation down to 1 watt (with amps less than 100 watts.) This is one of the few Power Soak / Brake / Attenuator devices that won't suck all the life out of your tone. Even at low volumes, the low end stays present and balanced.

Features and Specs of the Z AirBrake from Dr. Z amps: 
  • Rating:  Any Amp 100 Watts or Less
  • 6 Different Attenuation Settings:  Off, 1, 2, 3, 4, Bedroom
