THD Electronics
THD Electronics, Ltd. is a manufacturer of vacuum-tube guitar amplifiers and amplifier accessories, and is located in Seattle, Washington. It was founded in 1986 by President and CEO Andrew Marshall. Although it specializes in hand-built, vacuum tube “boutique”-style amplifiers, it also manufactures the “world’s best selling (amplifier ) power attenuator,”〔Guppy, Nick. “Pure Gold.” ‘ ‘Guitarist.’ ’ March 2004: p. 85.〕 the THD Hot Plate. The company is well known in the boutique amplifier market, and is often credited with the creation of this market in the United States.〔Guppy, Nick. “Pure Gold.” ‘ ‘Guitarist.’ ’ March 2004: p. 82.〕〔Buddingh, Terry. “The Flexi-50” ‘ ‘Guitar Player.’ ’ December 2004: p. 169.〕 THD’s line of products has stayed relatively small despite its 22-year history as a company. Of its amplifiers, THD currently makes three: the UniValve, BiValve-30 and Flexi-50.
==Name origins==
Copyright issues prevented Marshall from naming THD Electronics after himself, as Marshall Amplification had been established in the 1960s. Marshall also decided against naming the company after his first name because, in his words, “Who…is going to spend $2,500 on an ‘Andy Amp?’"〔Schuchard, Monica. “The Secrets of Success.” ‘ ‘Experience Hendrix.’ ’ July/August 1998.〕 Instead he chose THD, the acronym for “Total harmonic distortion”.
“‘(Total harmonic distortion) is one of the ways that amplifiers are rated,’ says Marshall. ‘And in the hi-fi world, where people are quite conscious of total harmonic distortion, everybody goes for the lowest possible amount of distortion. In the guitar amp world, people tend to go for the most. So it was slightly tongue-in-cheek, but more of an inside joke.’"〔
Marshall has said that THD alternatively means “Two Hairy Dogs”, referring to his bearded collies, Truffles and Tobler〔Guppy, Nick. “Pure Gold.” ‘ ‘Guitarist’ ’ March 2004: p. 85〕 and with the addition of a third dog, Piper, “Three Hairy Dogs”.〔
