It has blendable tube and solid state preamps, is rock solid, and is probably available in the $200 range...
I sold mine a couple months ago for $175, and had done a simple, switchable mod to get more gain out of the tube (if you get one and want to know about it, I can PM you the details).
The best source I've found for them is Guitar Center's Used site; you can get it shipped to your door, check it out and return it (at your LOCAL GC) within 30-days if it isn't your thing. |

|  | Registered User | | | | | Thanks ill have a look--peavey max.
If I got the $30 Art tube mic pre + wtdi I could get away with under $150. I suppose the Art would be at the start of the chain, no? Tuner art wtdi comp od & nanoverb. I actually have a portacon but I need an adapter or rechargeables. If that works out I don't need the wtdi only want the wtdi. |

Those little edans don't like strong signals at all. |

| | Registered User | | | | | Right
I had one; couldn't put it passed 30% juice.
So the idea is pollute my signal w all this crap then warm it up before going into power amp. I see. |

| | | | I own and love my Ampeg SVP PRO. I run it thru a Carvin HD 1500 into a pair of Hartke 4x10's. I shake the house and I'm clear as a bell.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Adelaide, South Australia | | | ART make awesome preamps. I have a tubePAC , which I use with a tubeEQ, which sounds great, I have used a ART studio MP also with a boss geb-7 after it to run a powered wedge and got good results.
I have a Presonus studio channel also and really dig how these sound with bass, nice and warm.
I would look at the tech 21 rpm pre also. No tube, but tube emulation. Awesome for adding grit, getting the Ampeg sound, massive tonal variety at your disposal.
