The HotBox 60 is a professional power attenuator, also sometimes called a power soak or power brake. The HotBox works by absorbing 90% of the output power from your amplifier so that you can get that 100% genuine tube overload tone, full of rich and sweet harmonic distortion, just like the greatest guitarists love, but without deafening yourself. The HotBox 60 offers high power handling and a reduction ratio of -10dB (10:1). In human hearing terms this 'sounds like' roughly a quarter volume. For amplifiers of up to 60 watts -10dB offers a great sweet spot with enough guts to drive a microphone, but quiet enough that the engineer will love you and the desk wont overload. It's also good for home use if your neighbours are fairly tolerant. To use this you simply connect it between your amplifiers output (the speaker output, not line output) and the speakers themselves. That's all. No power supply needed. No fuss. There are a lot of copies, competitors and far-east produced alternatives to our product. But ask yourself: Do you really want to trust the full output, not to mention the tone, of your precious tube amplifier into one of these devices? One short circuit and all your tubes and transformer go up in smoke. We have sold hundreds of HotBoxes and are still proud to say that EVERY customer we have spoken with loves and trusts our products. Please ensure you purchase the correct version that matches your speakers' impedance, usually either 8 or 16 ohms. Full details and pdf manual are available from the website : http://www.seanmandrake.com/ This is a boutique effects unit, hand made in Great Britain using British made components.

  • Super compact, solid cast aluminium chassis dissipates heat faster than other chassis, is more rugged and runs cooler.
  • Massively over-engineered: 60watts rated but stable to much higher wattages.
  • Only the best, British made, aluminium clad, wirewound power resistors and point-to-point wiring throughout.
  • Tone. Tone. Tone! We care about tone, deeply and passionately and we are sure you will agree that our HotBox rocks!
