Tone King Ironman II

ABOUT THE ATTENUATOR.
All great tube amps sound best when they’re being pushed. But that often means angry looks from bandmembers and sound engineers. Those days are over. The Ironman II allows you to take your ground-shaking rig to whisper levels. Unlike other tube amp attenuators, the Ironman II’s reactive load technology and transformer-coupled power division circuitry does it while retaining all of the detail, warmth, and response of your pure tone. Today is the day to experience the Ironman II for yourself.

KEY FEATURES:
100-watt attenuator offers cranked tone at whisper volumes
Reactive load technology maintains the relationship between amp and speaker
Custom-designed, transformer-coupled signal flow
Foot-switchable Solo Mode (footswitch included) provides a boosted level with the tap of your toe
Dial your amp’s top-end character to perfection via the Presence switch
Cabinet-emulated XLR DI output sends mic’d up tones direct to the board
¼” Line output can drive additional amplifiers, your favorite IRs, and more
Match any cab to your amp regardless of impedance

PRESENCE SWITCH.
The Presence switch provides subtle control of brightness and compression. It allows you to tailor the response to match your acoustic environment and to correct for an overly bright amplifier. Three settings are provided: 0db (brightest setting), -3db, and -6db (darkest setting).

IMPEDANCE MATCHING.
Another unique feature of the Ironman II is its dual impedance controls – one for the amplifier input, and one for the speaker output. These controls allow you to match your speaker to your amplifier, regardless of the amp’s output impedance.

DI XLR AND ¼” LINE-LEVEL OUTPUTS.
The Ironman II’s Line-Out and DI outputs provide a line-level signal that can be used to drive another amplifier, mixing board, recording interface, or any other line-level input. To sweeten the pot, the DI out features an analog speaker cabinet simulation (with switches to select between speaker center or edge micing and ground-lift) that compares head-on with some of the most intricate computer-based IRs out there.

USE AS A DUMMY LOAD.
Want to record or practice silently? No problem. The Ironman II can easily be used as a dummy load with no speakers attached. This is ideal for using the cab-emulated out, your favorite IRs, plugging in a set of headphones for big amp vibe that won’t wake the neighbors.
