The Z Airbrake is an essen�al tool with many applica�ons. This a�enuator was designed to let you maintain
your amp’s tone and dynamic response while keeping the overall volume under control. On stage and in the
studio the Z Airbrake gives you great flexibility for different volume levels. At home the “Bedroom Level” can
be used to really a�enuate the overall volume down to 1 wa� or less.

Overview
General Informa�on
The Z Air Brake has two major applica�ons. One is for stage use, the other is for studio or home use.
For stage use, the Z Air Brake is a useful tool to limit your overall dB level at any �me during a performance.
Example: the beginning of the night (when the club isn't full) click the Air Brake to a level of a�enua�on to
allow for smooth tone at a lower volume level. As the night progresses, reach back and remove degrees of
a�enua�on un�l the desired level is reached. This will allow you to manage your amp's overall volume
without varying from your amp's favorite se�ngs.
At home, the Air Brake is useful for lower volume while s�ll allowing for full output tube distor�on. The Air
Brake has a "bedroom" level control that, when selected, will allow for fine adjustment and maximum
a�enua�on down to 1 wa� (with amps less than 100 wa�s.)
