Hey Amp guys! This is my first thread here, I usually post in the Effects section hehe.
Well, wanted to know which one's your favorite Tube Amp... but more intended towards the Pre section of it!
I love SVTs for example, but love Fender based preamps (Alembic F2B, Mesa 400, etc) more than the Ampegs. |

Also it gives you plenty of tube saturation to make your tone sound warm and puchy

| | | | My favorite tube pre would be whatever makes up the Mesa M6 Carbine front end. If I had the money I would have one. |

My current favorite is the front end in my Genz Benz Streamliner 900. Second place would be a good mic preamp. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Charlottesville, VA | | | For the way I prefer to run my larger stage rigs, I prefer the Aguilar DB659 to the 680. I realize that's an odd choice, though.
If you look outside of tube pieces marketed specifically for bass, Universal Audio's 6176 and LA-610 are sweet choices for pillowy R&B tones. |
