A very light overdrive is all you need to make those puppies scream.
If you get a plexi then maybe an attenuator would suit you but there's no point in having one on an amp with master volume.

The way I setup my JCM800 2204, I need an attenuator. I can only get the amount of gain I need with the master past the 5 mark. That's effing loud and the attenuator helps in taming the beast.
