THD HOTPLATE REVIEW/OVERVIEW PART 1 (PEAVEY JSX)

THD HOTPLATE REVIEW/OVERVIEW

GEAR USED;

STAGEMASTER STRAT PEAVEY JSX MARSHALL BB-2 BOSS DD-7 + DD-3

THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE THD HOTPLATE. THE FIRST HALF OF THE VIDEO SHOWS THE AMP SET TO 5 ON THE MASTER VOLUME (CRANKED) WITH THE HOTPLATE CONNECTED AND THE SECOND HALF IS WITHOUT THE HOTPLATE CONNECTED. AS THIS OVERVIEW OF THE HOTPLATE WAS RECORDED ON A KODAK 10MP CAMERA THE AUDIO WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY COMPRESSED, TAKING AWAY THE EFFECT OF VOLUME LOUDNESS ALTHOUGH YOU CAN STILL HEAR THE VOLUME IN A GAIN TYPE WAY. ALSO ALOT OF BOTTOM END FREQUENCIES ARE NOT HEARD AS WELL AS THEY ARE IN ACTUALLY.

P.S THE SOUND IN REALITY IS SO SWEET IT WOULD MAKE A MAN EJACULATE TONE JIZZ !!

Isn't it true that, if you have a "Master Volume" and an "Input Volume" .......you DON'T need an Attenuator? (Assuming no pedals in the chain).

@nutmegger1957 that was kinda the idea for a master volume but it still isn't quite as good as a loud amp, i think for low volume playing with gain a good quality overdrive pedal to push the valves does the trick and is alot cheaper than a hotplate

[Schpudd]

@uomoscozzese do you reckon you could show us low volume wth an OD pedal just to see how it sounds?

[uomoscozzese]

@Schpudd sorry i no longer have the jsx or the hotplate, i found a solution for better tone and better low volume tones. i use a marshall jvm 210h which has an emulated output which i connect to my hifi and it sounds great for low volumes, thanks

can this thing bring the volume down of a 20 or 50W tube amp with 2 1'12 cabs to bedroom level????

[uomoscozzese]

@TerrorBlade84 yes , no doubt

This video proves something that I found when using a hotplate with a Marshall JCM 800 - the hotplate produces a very bright fizzy sound that the 'underdriven' natural sound of the amp doesnt give... I am glad I had a chance to use it, and decided that the 300+ price tag isnt worth it. The hotplate changes the tone of your amp, and just because it produces more distortion, doesn't mean it is a better tone!

120 tube watts is way too much for home. That is very loud. I have had 50, 30 watt tube amps, and struggle to keep my neighbors from calling cops. I got blue Hot Plate for my AC30 and is much better now. Even my 5 watt and 18 watt tube amps are really loud. I use a Dr.Z BrakeLit with them. It pushes the tubes for a more warm natural sound.

@uomoscozzese Do you mean the post phase inverter master volume PPIMV
