HotLine

Ever wanted to plug your speaker out straight into your recording gear? now you can!

Do away with the complexity and expense of microphones and pre-amps and capture your amp tone without needing any sound-proofing or acoustic treatment.

Details

15 ohm 10 watt load allows you to use the unit in place of a speaker on most small, single-ended valve amps. No-load 200w mode allows you to use it with any solid-state amp, or with any valve amp that has an existing load, be that speaker, HotBox or other attenuator!

The HotLine is a neutral device and should be used with speaker simulation plugins for best results. Here's a few of our favourites...
