THD Hot Plate Attenuator Reviews
THD Hot Plate Attenuator Sample Review
Sound:
This is a great product that's easier on your amp than most other attenuaters on the market. I use an 8ohm unit with my '72 super lead powering a '68 slant front. It truly lets the natural tube distortion shine through. You can even get a nice harmonic feedback at tolerable volumes. In the -16db mode it cuts too much of the tone and frequency and leaves a kind of fizzle sound similar to the sound a tube amp makes when you hit the standby switch while there's still a signal. Once in the -12db setting or higher, I didn't notice the sound degradation. It could also benefit from having the reostat work while in the -12db mode. The jump from -16db to -12db is a bit extreme. I talked to THD and their Tech said that the reostat will only work in the -16db mode due to the low power at that level. Any higher and it will cook the reostat. If you're thinking of buying one, go for it. I wish I had sooner. It's a bit spendy but it beats the hell out of other brands and especially a master volume which I tried on my amp to no satisfaction.
