We built a Trinity Tweed kit in 2018. We are using a Retro 30 from Speaker Warehouse and a Mini Mass Attenuator from Webber.
The amp is loud, I set the attenuator around 1 if playing alone and also when playing with our band. I love the sounds I get out of the 5e3 and switch between it and my old Twin Reverb using an A/B box based on the song. I don't have much understanding of the electronics, but curious how to get control on my volume without sacrificing the great tone. do I get a better attenuator or is a VRM a more versatile solution? Is the speaker too efficient? Thanks

The Retro 30 from Speaker Warehouse is a relatively efficient speaker, which can contribute to the amp's overall volume and make it harder to control.

Appreciate your input. I was wondering if the efficiency of the Retro 30 was adding to the loudness, it is also quite heavy. Any suggestions for a less efficient/more manageable speaker ?
