I am wanting to build a Attenuator/ load with a line out. Has anyone done this successfully?
I want to setup a 16 ohm one. I have found some stuff online but am not sure what diagrams to trust.

Re: building a power soak/ load with a line out.
There are simple power soaks schemes, but they sound no better than THDs... If you want some thing really useful, look at the Rivera - StoneCrusher or Faustine Phantom, may be a Friedman attenuator too, Alex Attenuator.

Re: building a power soak/ load with a line out.
In case you decide to buy instead of build, take a look at the Jet City Jettenuator. I've got one. It eats the full output of my Bugera 1960 without a problem. It also has a line out 1/4" jack and a speaker simulated XLR out. I haven't tried the XLR myself, though, so I can't say how that sounds as compared to a real speaker, but there are some YouTube videos of it.

If it says "Designed by Soldano" it's worth the money Played trough Jet City 20W head, and I liked every second!
