THD Hot Plate Attenuator

Get huge gain at studio volume!




The THD Hot Plate Attenuator is a power attenuator and
noise reducer that lets you attain the incredible sound of your amp running at
high output and full distortion but at recording, small club, and
neighbor-friendly volumes. It also makes a perfect dummy load.

A power
attenuator is simply a device placed between the speaker output and the speaker
cabinet. It acts like a huge master volume control and permits the amp to be
turned up most or all the way while absorbing most of the power generated by the
amplifier and turning this power into heat. It passes a small part of the power
to the speaker.

Designed for use strictly with vacuum tube guitar
amplifiers, each version of the Hot Plate is optimized for a specific impedance.
These inductive loads are frequency-compensated, which means you get the best
possible sound for that impedance speaker and amplifier combination. Plus the
Hot Plate is no simple power attenuator. It offers many capabilities that make
it a great addition to any tone-hungry player's arsenal.

Built-in
Noise Reduction

The THD Hot Plate is the only attenuator on the
market with built-in noise reduction to reduce the hiss and hum between notes.
Its passive, single-ended noise-reduction system provides approximately 10dB of
broadband noise reduction without gating or pumping and without affecting the
tone of the amp. A by-product of the noise reduction circuit is that it
generates light via a front-mounted bulb as you play. The harder you play, the
brighter it glows.

Tone Controls

The Hot Plate is
also the only attenuator offering a Bright switch and a Deep switch for
tailoring your sound. The Bright switch gives you 2 different high-frequency
levels so you can compensate for an overly bright or dull speaker cabinet. The
Deep switch offers 2 distinct bass settings to help you fill out the bottom end
or reduce the bass in a cabinet with too much low end.

Adjustable
Line Out

THD Hot Plates also feature a Line Out, which is
adjustable by its own volume control, giving it a wide range of applications. At
higher settings, it can provide enough signal to drive the input of a separate
power amp for slaving. The middle range of settings is useful for most rackmount
effects. And turned most of the way down, the Hot Plate's Line Out will drive
the instrument input of another guitar amplifier for extra power and
volume.

Will it hurt my amp?

The THD Hot Plate
will not damage your amplifier. When you play continuously at full output, you
cause your tubes to age more quickly than they would at lower volumes. Using a
Hot Plate will maintain the life of your tubes at exactly the same rate, no more
or less, as when you play straight through the speaker.

Using a Hot Plate
will also not hurt your transformer any more than playing through a speaker as
long as the impedances are matched (i.e., 8-ohm setting on the amp, 8-ohm
speakers, and an 8-ohm attenuator). The Hot Plate puts the same load on the
transformer as a speaker (which is why it makes such a good dummy
load).
