Didn't see the big picture before though.

The bigger it is the worse it looks.

The Univalve is a bit of a fantasy amp for me.

It's a lovely bit of design and it looks fantastic, bloody pricey in the UK though

Hotplate is an Attenuator, not an Amplifier

They're $329 in the US and £249 in the UK.

Let's take... I dunno.. a Tiny Terror as a comparison point, seeing as that's more sympathetic to the US cause.

It costs 59% US of a US Tiny Terror price.

It costs 83% UK of a UK Tiny Terror price.

So like I said, it's expensive in the UK, but not as bad as some items.

It's not the hotplate I meant. I meant to say Flexi-50.

I'm not sure how much fun I could have with just an attenuator and a cabinet, like. Not much, I'm guessing.

Yeah, also it means you can't ever get cleans. Which is a bit wank for me.

Why can't you get cleans with a hotplate again? 'Cause I do it all the time by walking over and adjusting it, and want to make sure I don't go to hell.

I think Mike's talking about the Flexi 50, not the hotplate.

Although I'd have thought there were cleans on offer with a Flexi-50 too.

I think the stand point is that a hot plate allows you to dime the amp at sensible levels. Dimed amp then going to cleans means a big drop is volume.
