    Sansamp with tube Ampeg

    I just came across a steal on a tech 21 sansamp rbi, have paired it up with my Ampeg v4-b and mainly acquired it so that I can get some more distortion/overdrive. However, I would also like to play around with the eq while I’ve got it. Couple questions though: -In the little amount of...
