Odieux Fonzy
Published on 05/30/07 at 08:20
I tried this on a vintage Marshall stack consisting of a head 100W JMP Master Lead 2203 1981 Mark II and a 4x12 cabinet 1960A of the JCM 800 series dating back to 1984. This t you possde a master volume, but I wanted to hear the sound obtained by saturation of the single power floor without becoming dull, hence the need for a hotplate! (As everyone knows, the audio obtained by saturation of the power of a tube amp tage is in general much more musical than the saturation of a prampli.)
Difficult Pre-Trial: we find HotPlate Paris in one store, where he did not t possible to get a demonstration on their hardware (though one day c'tait week without busy). D'o Plan B: I command in Germany by mail order, with a guarantee as possible unconditional return within 30 days.
First finding dballage, the device seems robust and well finished, with a fan placed in the box. Note that the HotPlate is purely passive, the ncessaire energy to spin the fan is prleve the one he used dissipate.
(For Dtail of rglages available on the beast, refer to prcdents notice.)
I think after a testing week with:
- A Fender Stratocaster american vintage '62
- A Gibson Les Paul Standard
- A Blade RH4 Classic
- A Blade R4
* The sound of low attnuation (say up to - 12 dB) is not bad at all, quite transparent, but it is not used in a non-isolated house if we has neighbors, the volume produced is much too strong. on the other hand, it is undoubtedly very useful to use a 100W monster with a rock band on a small scene or in a bar.
* To use the Marshall presqu self bottomless at the neighbors immediately call the police, attnuation must be practically pushes its maximum, and the resulting sound is extr armament compress quite unpleasant, and whatever the equalizer attempt made on the amp or the boiboite.
In conclusion, this machine has little prs no intRet for home-studio owner who wants to save his amp with a mic (I HotPlate accuracy of all here that has a line out for those who like). This machine did not of intRet for the guitarist who only wants to play "in his room," a much better sound obtained by saturating the prampli and adding an overdrive pedal (for me, a Boss OD-1) to sustain. The HotPlate logically retourn with his expditeur for reimbursement ...
