One other odd thing I"ve learned about the Bugera PS-1. If you record from the XLR out, the right-hand knob does NOT control the output level. That knob only controls the 1/4" line out, which is evidently flat, no cabinet emulation. The "big" knob that controls the level of an attached speaker DOES control the output of the XLR. So if you want to record from the XLR, you have to live with whatever volume the attached speaker generates at the level you set the knob to for the best recording level. Or, of course, use no speaker attached to the PS-1 and monitor with headphones from whatever you use to record.
I found this curious, though. I expected the right knob, the line level knob, to control the level for both of the output lines.

Do you think that going with an attenuator on a non-master volume amp is a more dynamic sound than setting the preamp drive on a master volume amp up to edge of breakup sounds?
I do the latter with a Mesa 5:25 and rather like the result. otoh I have no experience with attenuators

It can also be used for getting a clean tube amp into the "zone" where it really starts to sound full. Then you can set the overall volume with the PS2. This is the most useful for me in a jazz setting and for practice.
It also has a line out and an effects loop, so overall a useful tool especially for recording.
And lastly it can take a small amp and raise the overall volume if needed. So you can have a 50 watt (they make a 100 as well) tweed Deluxe if you like.
Anyone hip to Joshua Breakstone?
