Use a pot with a cap across the outer lugs to preserve treble content. There's your attenuator!
I don't like Holland. Nobody has the transistors I want.

This site has some information on attenuators:

http://amps.zugster.net/articles/attenuation/index.html

I was going to build one but I ended up buying a killer amp that has one built in. It's a Carr Mercury and the variable attenuator will go from 8W to 2W to 1/2W to 1/10W (I get power tube distortion at bedroom volume!)

Weber VST looks pretty cool..
 I had a resistors box with a couple jacks and a rotory switch someone built for me long ago I used it to pretty good effect with a 1OOw SLP.
