It's an early 80's made Japanese Epiphone Standard (About 30 times better quality than the shitty Korean pish). Note the gibson headstock though. Them crazy japs.
And aye, hotplates are fucking immense.
Does noone else have any pics of their gear?

The ESP sounds great, the X2Ns are almost too hot.
I only own a halfstack, the pic below is from Devourment. Of course I'd love to join them.

what are hot plates?
Posted: Sun Feb 20, 2005 6:03 pm

there made for tube amps. tube amps sound best at the loudest they can go. if you dont want it that loud but stil want that full tone, the hot plate will do that. i think you can use them on digital amps but whats the point?

nice one, cheers.
And my Washburn cost about £400 ($850-ish) in total including the replacement pickups (Dimebucker and JB model) I put in it and the new locking nut. I got it from Canadian Ebay and got it sent over, secondhand like but arrived mint.

Hey man I noticed the Hot Plate and was wanting to ask a few questions because I would like to use that for my Mesa because the damn thing is so loud and I cant really get great tone without feedback and super loud volume. Does it allow you to get great tone at normal volume levels? Does it wear out your tubes quickly since it is supposed to run them hot? Do you use it like a regular foot pedal or do you plug it in the effects loop? Finally, about how much do they cost, and are they worththe money? Sorry one more thing , does it cause feedback?

Fucking sweet guitar man. Pity about the 5150... I personally can't stand those screechy fuckers.
As for the questions on the hotplate - You plug the head into the hotplate and then run the signal out of the hotplate to the cab... so essentially it's more of a rackmount than a pedal kind of thing. You don't run it as an effect loop, you run it straight through.
It gives you the fullest amount of saturated valve tone at infinity zero levels (Almost inaudible) and stays the same quality (As the settings on the amp you have it) at every volume, leaving no changes in tone/gain etc.
It's fantastic value, amazing quality, causes no feedback (prevents it) and is invaluable as far as valve amps are concerned.

To the guy from Scotland who posted first. Why do you have a rebel flag if you are Scottish?

It was given to me by a mate as a joke. When I first met him he thought I was a nazi so he gave me it. I know the confederate flag has nothing (much) to do with Nazism, though he was poking fun at the imperliastic attitude of white power which the flag is occasionally used in context with.
I'm not a Nazi, by the way.

it's a hell of a lot warmer than the Crate power amp i used to use, closest SS power amp to sounding like a tube one i could find...and didn't cost me an arm and a leg, either...
