Hi Guys!
Since I got my LSC 1x12 I put my Hot Plate back into its box and into my closet. I didn't bother to hook it up because I loved the tone of the amp "as is."
Last night, for some reason, (maybe that I paid 279.00 for it and it was just keeping my clothes company) I hooked it up.
We all know Mesas' sound better when we get the tubes "cook'n".
Excuse my language but holy f**king s**t. Better than sex. Now ........ is it as good as playing in a concert hall with the amp "wide open"? (No)
Does it sound allot better than playing the amp "low" at home?
YOU BET CHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At -4db to -12db very transparent, at -16db and lower you lose some tone
but this is at extremely low volume (bedroom level) and still sounds way better than if the amp's output had been lowered cause the tubes are "still cook'n." At -16db there's a bass & treble boost which I don't use but they're there and "actually do work" if you engage them.
Guys ................... REALLY NICE and I am one fussy ******* when it comes to tone. So if it had sucked or not made any difference I would have told you. Remember, I thought the amp sounded great before, I really didn't think the H.P. was gonna make a difference.
All I can say is ........ There is a God !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's"that good".
Thanks guys!
