The THD hotplate is a much lower quality item for twice the price, as far as i can figure.
It uses resistors, whereas the weber uses an actual speaker motor (magnet minus the cone) and splits your signal between your 'real' speakers and its 'dummy speaker load' creating a more realistic attenuation, rather than a bunch of cheap resistors which just get really hot,
also THD in their narrowmindedness, make you buy separate models for 8 ohm, 4 ohm, 16 ohm set ups etc...
The Weber is switchable between all three, and so can be used with virtually any head and cab, or any combo... 3 hot plates for the price of half a hotplate !
Atleast, thats what i can figure from reading the various blurb about each item...
