How to Construct a CHEAP Resistive Dummy Load Box for Guitar Amp (Hot Plate, Power Soak)

in this video. We'll discuss how to build your own switchable resistive dummy load box for use on your electronics testing bench. This load box is useful in allowing you to run a signal into an amp without fear of damage to the output transformer or tubes while testing, troubleshooting, or using the line out jack to a recording device, DAW, or mixer. This design allows the impedance to switch between 8 and 16 ohms at 200W and 100W respectively. This is not to be confused with reactive loads or attenuators, although we may do a future video on such a device also. Be sure to subscribe for that!
