I got my Hotplate today

Reckless Abandon

I am quite happy with it. The tone coloring was what would be expected from cranking the master. It did not suck the highs or make the lows flabby. I am getting a sound that I expected and wanted.

Sweet, if you don't mind me asking where and for how much did you get it for? Have you had any experience w/ other attenuators?
Can you get a decent "in the bedroom" tone?
Thanks
 
Re: I got my Hotplate today

I got mine on Ebay for 200 plus shipping. I got a 16 ohm since I have a switch on the amp to change the ohms. I love it. I have had a weber mass and load dump this is better to my ear. The Weber sucked the high end and made the amp sound dull. Now it was a different Marshall but the hotplate sounded great right away.
I get a good tone for my bedroom. The volume is that same as when I have the master on 2-3 but I have it cranked now and use the hotplate on 8 db of attenuation.

if i could get one for $200 i'd snatch it up. I may wait and try rather than getting the weber.

So if It's going to an 8ohm cab, then I just need the purple color 8ohm hot plate?

You don't have to select the amount of watts, like with the weber? Thanks

My Marshalls on 2-3 aren't exactly what I would call bedroom levels though. ;):naughty::friday:

LOL, today i made some offers and one guy said he'd take $200shipped. It's a purple 8ohm version. But, there's no mention about the watts, so i'm still wondering about the question above. thanks
 
Re: I got my Hotplate today

You will be fine with the watts they will at least handle 100 watts most likely more since they only make one model.

All you do with webber's is if your amp is a 50 watt and you crank up pre-amp a lot, than just get one that says 100watss THATS IT, ohmage/shmomage does not matter, MassLite has eq style attenuation with two knobs, that alows you to pin point your attenuation, its not limited to pre-set db selector. Just match your cab and amp on the ohms and you are done, plus you have two levels High and low that you can set your attenuation knobs run in. It really is a tone tool.
