I have one that I use with the Super Reverb. "Altair Power Attenuator" from the 70s. It sounds pretty good when you knock the volume down 4-8db. Once you get into -16db territory the great Fender tone is lost. Minus 8db is usually enough to gig with though... or I could just bring a smaller 1x12 amp.
Nostatic knows of what he speaks. I like your Steely Dan cover band vid.
