Titel: ToneHound light 100W - assy mistake or too strong?
Beitrag von: Karak am 26.01.2026 07:33
Hello,
I have Tonehound light 100W and my 15W amp is barely audible on max setting.

Did I made any mistake during assembly or is 100W version too strong for 15W amp?

At least lamp is working. 🙂

Thank you for the help.

Hello,
Please, There is no experienced user to tell if this device is good working with 16-20 W amps?

And if yes, where to look into wiring for some issues.?

It is quite simple circuit, but I do not see any mistake.

Signal is going from jack to jack, but power reduction is extreme. Speaker is barely audible.

Thank you.

Good morning,

do not expect a feedback within 1 or 2 days.

Can you post pictures of what you assembled?

The ToneHound is a Dummy-Load, do not use it together with a speaker.
If you think that there is an other problem, than please post some pictures of the assembled kit where we can see details.

Regards, Dirk

Hello,
Thank you for reply, now I know that problem is in my head.  :facepalm:
I thought that it is attenuator and connected it to guitar speaker. It works well with headphones, for example.

Is there possibility to modify it to be used with guitar speaker?

Thank you.

Please see the PoS100 if you need an attenuator.
