FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What are the sonic benefits of the TwoQuiet attenuator?

TwoQuiet improves channel balance, reduces noise, and enhances clarity—especially at low volume settings. It also gives your Crackatwoa a more precise, repeatable feel with clearly defined volume steps.

Is the TwoQuiet upgrade difficult to install?

If you’ve already built a Crackatwoa, you’ll find the TwoQuiet a straightforward install. The included instructions walk you through the swap from the stock volume pot, and no circuit changes are needed.

Can I use TwoQuiet with the original Crack or other Bottlehead amps?

No, the TwoQuiet is specifically designed to fit the Crackatwoa chassis. Check out the Bottlehead Forums to discuss ideas on how to further upgrade your Crack.
