They used to make a resistor load in a vented case that attenuated the signal to the speaker. The trick to this is that putting that resistance in the equation changes the way the speaker behaves, as, depending on how it's hooked up, it will either add resistance to the speaker or change the speaker load to something more nearly resistive. Either way, the amp sees a different load and the tone will change somewhat. It seems simple on the surface, but becomes more complicated when you look at it in detail.
The best solution is to buy something like an old Fender Champ (about 10 or 15 watts), crank the volume knob W.A.O. then mic it if you want more volume. Tone out the wazoo, but at a more managable volume level.

Default Yes!

Funny you should say that because, the guitar player has been thinking of doing just that and if he does, he's gonna sell his old Fender Twin.....to me! So yes, I agree that's the best solution
