rackmount guitar tube amp

[hachi kid]

so, I'm trying to gather more information about this as I may be going rack in the future. my bass has dual outputs, and because of this, I use two amps and two cabs for my rig, and run them simultaneously. for the low end, I will probably be getting a Hartke LH100 for the headroom to keep the lows super clean, and the awesome Hartke customer service. for the highs, I currently use a Peavey Valveking 100, and I love the way a 100 watt guitar head sounds. it's really present in the mix, and it's voiced well. not scooped, mids and treble are really present, even when overdriven. but I can't really fit a VK100 into a rack setup, and I don't want to sacrifice the tube clarity when in the mix. I'm curious if anyone out there knows about a rackmount-able all tube amp. whether it's a DIY kit amp, or not, is ok. also, I'd like it to be at least a dual channel amp so I can have clean and overdriven tones. if possible, a "boost" channel would be good so I could essentially get 3 tones out of the amp with a footswitch.

I don't mind a power amp/pre amp setup at all, as long as it's tube. I just got the idea of having a rack mount tube amp when looking on ceriatone, and realizing I could probably mount those amps in a rack.



or

how would I go about ripping my VK100 apart and putting it in a rack? I would also be interested in doing that since I do like the way my VK100 sounds and the fact that I wouldn't have to buy another amp is appealing. ^_^

The only ones that pop into mind quickly are different makes of Mesa Boogie amps; they have in the past done both their Single and Dual rectifiers in rackmount and they also offer rackmount tube poweramps for guitar.

Here is a link for THD products. I almost went with one of their products but I went with Rocktron products instead due to price......Still, these look like nice heads and products. . .

The TS100 is a power amp.

Marshall do a few stereo valve power amps. I use a pair of rack preamps and a SS power amp.

You might like an old Mesa D-180 but you'd need to use an AB pedal to switch between its clean or overdrive channel inputs.
