The Hot Plate is a power attenuator that sits between your amp and speaker(s). It allows you to obtain the full output distortion of a tube amplifi er at lower volumes, without sacrificing tone.

The Hot Plate can also function as a high quality direct box, allowing you to send the amp’s signal to a mixing board, a separate power amplifier or to rack mount effects without miking the speaker(s).There are five different

Hot Plate models in five colors: The 2Ω (gold), the 2.7Ω (green), the 4Ω (red), the 8Ω (purple), and the 16Ω (blue). To optimize the tone and function of the Hot Plate the impedance should be the same on your amplifier, Hot Plate and speaker cabinet.

  • Attenuation: 0 dB to -16 dB in four dB increments; -16 dB to -∞ dB (zero output) continuously variable
  • Power Handling: Up to 100 Watts RMS (tube amplifiers)
  • Line Output Type: Mid-impedance (approx. 35KΩ), unbalanced, negative ground
  • Connector: 1/4” phone jack
  • Tone Controls: Bright and Deep switches for high-frequency and low-frequency shaping
  • Level: Continuously variable line out level (+10dB(V) to -40dB(V)).
  • Input Impedance: 16-Ohm
  • Continuous power dissipation: 150W RMS
  • Max. recommended amplifier power: 185W RMS.
  • Additional Features: Built-in passive single-ended noise reduction (~10 dB) and an adjustable Line Out
  • Size: 7.3 cm x 20.9 cm x 18.4 cm
  • Weight: 1.9 kg
