Default Re: Big guitar amps or small guitar amps in the studio

I was recently in a friend's home studio, and he had a box that connected to his amp outputs that split the output between the 12" speaker and a monster heat sink. This allows him to get tube-saturation distortion with his high-power amp at much lower volume levels. It made sense to me, but I didn't get the chance to listen to it. Anyone get good results with this approach?

By the way, I seem to recall reading that Frank Zappa recorded most of his early stuff through a pignose.
