Hey Now!

I played a THD Univalve® and thought it was pretty intense. Just expensive but the benefit of great tone is inspiring in the studio, on the stage, and while your writing.

Yep, the price tag is downright ugly, that's for sure...

I worked at a THD dealer here in NM right up to the point that the Flexi 50 came out, and I LOVE their stuff...all of it.

I liken their amps to the mad scientists' approach to modeling: instead of chips full of amp emulations, build amps that allow true hardware modeling! Plug in some 6L6GCs, plug into an open-back cab, and get down on those TWIN tones! Switch to a closed 4x12 and some EL34s, and it's Marshall time! Throw in some mellower 12A tubes in the front end to color the tone...you can play with the things forever.

I've seen their facility in Seattle, and it'd do mad scientists proud. These guys LOVE guitar gear, and approach everything they make from a player's perspective...whether it's the "instant class A" Yellowjackets, the Hotplates, or their growing amp line. While I tell everyone to select their gear with their ears first, I can say tha THD is one company that will always send the buyer home with a fantastic addition to their tonal arsenal.
