If you go for a THD make sure that you get one that is the correct impedance for the amp. Also make sure you connect using speaker cable with jack to jack and not a standard guitar cable.
I use a THD btw and it pretty much does what it says on the tin. A couple of things to be aware of though - 1) it can suck some of the tone, so you may need to adjust your eq a bit, and 2) you'll probably reduce the life of your tubes as you'll be running them 'hot'/cranked much more then you would at a low volume setting.
