|  | Registered User | | | | | Recommended tube preamp <$350?
Is there such a thing?
I'm running to an ada ss power amp to 410 cab.
Or do I just go with another micro genz head or other head? |

Ampeg SVT-IIP (in the classifieds right now for $225)
Ampeg SVP-Pro
Eden Navigator
You're probably not gonna find these for less than $400, but:
Alembic F1X
Demeter

| | | | The SVP Pro has that nasty 10-band EQ, a mess of solid state crap in an otherwise all tube circuit, sounds better with the EQ bypassed. The SVP-CL has no graphic EQ, should be less expensive, but who knows. I got mine off a friend for $300, best money I've ever spent.

A great preamp with DI and Eden sound in a small package.
Stupid I am, Dang, no tubes in the WTDI

| | Supporting Member | | Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: San Antonio, TX | | The PreSonus Studio Channel is also very nice. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-a...-channel-strip
I like it better than the Demeter HBP-1 which is too sterile for me. My current love though is the Fender TBP-1 which I bought used here on TB. It does 99% of what I want, but I'm an old-school Motown and classic rock sound kinda guy. IMO if you can find a used TBP-1 that would be a superb place to start for you. Or just buy the Studio Channel now. Note: The SC has a hundred knobs and they are all useful. You WILL have to tweak to get the sound you want, but it's a great piece of gear. |

Would still like to try it someday, though.  |
