We have developed a system consisting of a superconducting single-electron transistor (S-SET) coupled to a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), for which the dissipation can be tuned in the immediate vicinity of the S-SET. Such tuning can be performed easily, and provides access to a significant range of environmental impedances. For temperatures above 100 mK, we find qualitative agreement between measured changes in the S-SET conductance versus dissipation and a model incorporating electromagnetic fluctuations in both the S-SET leads and the 2DEG.
