I just wanted to chime in that I love my THD HotPlate. It was worth every penny.

Anywho, thought I'd at least chime in about one of the other attenuators since you're getting plenty of advice on Webers :)

Thanks, Tadpui, I appreciate it. :)

by the way, what's a 'rep'?

Look at any post, at the upper right. They'll say Rep Power, followed by a number. Rep stands for "reputation." This number comes from other members clicking on that little symbol in the upper right of a post - the one that looks like a balance scale - and selecting a radio button for "did" or "did not" approve of that post.

The higher the number, the cooler you are. :D

Check your control panel - you'll see I gave you (and everyone else on this thread) some positive rep.
 
While we're talking options here, I'm surprised no one has mentioned my favorite...

I can get some nice tone out of that old Twin without getting arrested.
 
horsedoc-
i've heard a lot of good things about the Z unit, but the price was just too way scary!!

thanks for that info on the rep thingy...
i've always wondered what that stuff was for........
 
I'm getting great results with a Line 6 Floor Pod Plus into a Pignose G40V + Eminence Rajin' Cajun [who makes up these names?] 10" speaker and a 12AU7 substituted for the 12AX7 in the middle of the tone stack. The wah on the Line 6 is killer (it's hard to really get into the discipline to use it right -- you feel like a teenage with his learner's permit and a '68 Dodge Hemi at first).

There are so many choices that sooner or later you'll find THE sound...I have, several times.
 
Update:

I just ordered a Weber Mass 150. I want to be able to crank that Matamp. :eek:

I'll let y'all know how it works out. I'm particularly curious to see if it will work OK with the AC30 as well.
 
i imagine you will love it for mild attenuation with both of those. i also imagine you will find more extreme attenuation rather uninspiring, and will rarely use it that way. personally, i would rather clean up the amp then play with more than 50% attenuation on the mass.

still, what it does well, it *really* does well.
