I found a speaker simulator at
http://sound.westhost.com/tsp.htm
I have a DIY 1/4x power soak, bridge T IIRC.
I wonder if this simulator, with tough parts, can do the job better.



The behaviour of a guitar speaker can be seen here,

You can tweak values to move the resonant frequency, to filter more highs, etc.

I'm planning to build a 1/4 attenuator for my 30w amp.

Thoughts?

A while ago I built a similar reactive attenuator and IMO it sounds way better than a simple resistive load, here is the thread:

Life is too short for being regretful about it.
