Is Hotone pronounced "hot one" or "ho tone?"

Is Hotone pronounced "hot one" or "ho tone?"

In my mind it's always been Ho-Tone but I've seen YouTube videos where reviewers pronounced it Hot-Tone.

Likewise I like calling NUX "nux" but apparently the company calls it "New-X"

Is Hotone pronounced "hot one" or "ho tone?"

"How do I pronouce Hotone? Is it HO TONE, HOT ONE, or HOT TONE?

It's pronounced HOT TONE."

Glad you posted these. My recent frustrations with headphone amp options brought me to the Valeton Headrush Bass, which is also on sale today. So I went for it. Thanks for reminding me!

$32 is a great price on that unit. I'd accidentally been tracking the guitar model (which is on sale for $5 more), not the bass model.

I might spring for it too! Maybe even also for the $5.99 3-yr extended warranty.

Yes.

I'm grabbing one of those hanging stands. I mean, it won't work with my headless bass, but should be good with my others!

Please report back. I've been looking for a headphone amp.

I use power hungry planar headphones so I have a feeling non of these plug in amps will be powerful enough

You're right You'd probably need to use cheaper, more power-thrifty ones. The batteries here are tiny and you'll get "up to 4 hours" on a charge but more likely 1-2.

There's a recent thread here about the Fender and Boss headphone amps, which go for $140-$150. (The NUX Mighty Plug Pro MP-3 falls into this category and pricing.) So a $32 sale-price Valeton isn't going to quite compare, but at that price, for me at any rate, it's worth it.

For decent sound, you'll probably have to look for a used Raven Labs PHB-1 headphone amp.

Or a used Grace Design! JK, not portable in the least. But only sort of, I use one for my IEMs and it sounds stunningly good with no lack of headroom ever.

Newly added sale items from my list:

Line 6 DL4 MKII 25th Anniversary Limited Edition Delay Modeler, Silver color, $200, down from $225 (the regular green color model is unchanged at $220)

JOYO Octave Effect Pedal R Series with MOD Effects and Independent Octave (R-13), $69 down from $90

 

[BassDaddySky]

Same prices from "sonicake direct" on ebay

 

[FretRiff]

It says 20% off for the items I listed so maybe they reduced their price to match Amazon's temporary 20% drop.

But Amazon ships faster, easy returns are guaranteed, and you get an extra 5% credit if you use the Prime VISA card. Given all that I might tilt towards eBay if the price were at least an additional 10% lower….

SONICAKE Bass Pedal with Overdrive Analog Preamp Compression Effects Pedal and 3-Band EQ Via Pre/Post Selection with XLR Output $64, down from $76

Oops I attached the wrong link. It should be this one, for the Bass Peamp Factory

This deal is not on Amazon (Prime day adjacent?) - but a great deal for anyone who needs to stock up on patch cables:

Fender has blockchain patch cables on sale - the large is $45 and the med is $39 (MSRP for the large is $149.99!)

... and for a bit less Amazon has a 6-pack of 6-inch MXR patch cables for $10 (a whopping $2 off, but I'll probably end up buying it).

I clicked on yer link, it's a 3 pack?

Me, I never had a 6-pack but carried a pony-keg until I lost the weight ...

You're right. I saw the '6-inch' and thought 6-pack too.
