Anyone had experience with these. Reason I ask is I picked up the guitar again last year after a twenty-five year lapse and am having great fun 're-learning' how to play (It's not like riding a bike - your fingers DO forget how to play chords). Anyway I've been playing through my computer with a guitar port which I think is a fantastic bit of kit but I really would like to get a proper valve amp again (I used to own an original 60s AC30). I'm having problems deciding whether to buy a Laney VC30 or a Fender Deluxe Blues re-issue (I'm British and live down the road from the Laney factory so feel I should be loyal to them but I mainly play blues and love the idea of a Fender amp) - Anyway what amp I end up getting is a whole different question (but if anyone has had the opportunity to try both i'd welcome your opinion) - the real issue is that whichever amp I end up getting will be far TOO loud to play fully cranked at home which is why i'm interested in the Marshall power brake. If I believe the Marshall blurb it will allow me to fully cook my amp but still play at low volume. Does it really work without sucking tone? Are there any other issues with a Marshall power brake that I should be aware of or is it just a great bit of kit? Are there any other alternatives out there (suggestions such as buying and living on my own island are not what I'm looking for here).

Thanks
