Question ... hopefully someone can answer


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a Splawn Quickrod 100w head with 2 speaker outs, switchable between 4,8,16 ohms.

I have 2 Marshall JCM 900 Cabs switchable between 4 and 16 ohms.

I'd like to buy a THD Hotplate...

Which version do I buy and what is the best config for this?

Also, if I decide to use 1 cab, what do I need to do?

Thanks so much!!

Look into a Weber attenuator. You can switch the ohm load on those.

LOL! I looked all around and the hotplate seems to get good enough reviews and is in the budget. Especially since American Musical has a 3 payment plan!

The problem with going the THD route is that is you're gonna need a few of 'em to keep your options open. Running both cabs on 16 ohms will yield an 8 ohm load. Running one at a time will be either 4 or 16. The upside is you can color coordinate your attenuator with your outfit.

Chris is correct with the ohm stuff.

I would find a different attenuator. One that can handle different ohm loads. It doesn't make sense to buy two THD's. Perhaps look into the BAD CAT Leash??

Here's a link to Music Toyz. I'm not suggesting to buy it there, or not buy it there. I was just looking for some info.

Chris... thank you so much, this is exactly the info I was looking for.
