[QUOTE="GaryMcT, post: 367, member: 17"] My amp is back from the shop. I finally got a chance to try the hotplate out with a functional amp. The hotplate sounds really good with my RM50B. To save my ears, I generally have it on the lowest setting at home (-16 dB). It still sounds good at this setting. I use the bright and deep switches so far at this level. I suspect that they are there to compensate for the non-linearity of human hearing. If you turn 'em off, I think a mic generally hears the same thing as with it truly cranked. Going lower than a 16dB drop with the find tune knob starts to really affect the sound in a bad way. It generally sounds better to crank down the master on the amp than to use put this knob on anything but max. I almost wish it had a -32 dB setting, but that's definitely being picky. I'm not sure that the speakers would be working enough at that setting anyways. I can't see not using a HotPlate (or an equivalent) in the future. The only time I don't use it is at band practice, and I have to wear earplugs there. [/QUOTE]
