Dead Undead
New again
if you're in a band you'll need a 100 head, just by a THD hotplate to lower the volume but retain the tone for practicing

Higher wattage heads will (typically) get you a fatter, fuller tone and will be loud enough for most any venues you play. Need to turn it down? Power attenuator will do the job without having to sacrifice tone.
THD Hotplate it my favourite power attenuator. Musician's Friend stopped carrying them though, I think. Makes me sad.
