They start to overdrive with a consonant set of even ordered harmonics. Instead of buzzy and harsh, you get fat, saturated, overdrive. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#339966\" style=\"color: #339966;\"\u003eBut wait.  There's more: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e The Falcon comes with a built in attenuator using the same tuned reactive load and 100% transformer load matching found in the popular \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.humbuckermusic.mom\/tone-king-ironman-attenuator.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e$850 IronMan Attenuator\u003c\/a\u003e.  With this, you can crank the volume all you want to get those saturated tube tones, while bleeding off the power to the speaker allowing those elusive \"bedroom level\" volumes without sacrificing tone.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/fontcolor\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"color: #000000;
