I remember reading a message thread about a mod that ralle did to the power brake that gave it true transparency. Does anyone know what the mod was and how to perform it on the Marshall power brake?

I found it took away some of the flubbyness of the powerbrake, not so much of the transparent, but it's worth a try to see what you think.

It's been about a decade since I did mine up, but the gist is you bypass the inductor and also replace the stock 100w resistor and fan with at least 200w worth of resistors. I've done hundreds of hours on mine and it gets a bit warm, but compared to the stock one I have its about as transparent as an attenuator gets
