whats a good preamp???[views:3730][posts:22]__________________________________ [Jan 17,2004 6:09pm - goratory ""] Alright, I don't beleive in god but i figured that if their is one, he didn't like my guitar tone and killed the rig. I am going to be hopefully getting this Mesa power amp for $1200 once I get the money. I was running a rocktron chameleon for a preamp up untill last week and I decided that it was time time for a change so intstead of buying the same one I'm going to get something different. The only problem is that no stores really have a good selection in stock so you usually have to order them without hearing em. any advice on a preamp with a really good compressed tone for distortion (dying fetus type sound) |

| ____________________________________ [Jan 18,2004 10:53am - subjugate ""] he was using a rack mounted mesa bass head but it blew up a while ago so we have used the pv since he actually uses distortion and fx via the pedal but i have no idea as to what he is using we think the head blew up caise it's running into a VERY OLD kustom 1X15 speaker cab TheGreatSpaldino said:subjugate said:he is currently running a pv butcher guitar head and a fx pedal i don't know what one it is guitar head?! no wonder its so distorted. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 18,2004 10:56am - subjugate ""] yea thats very true i actually know a store here on the south shore with a digitec pre amp used for under $200 and then there is always e bay http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?q...ortproperty=1&from=R10&BasicSearch= RustedAngel said:digitech doesn't really produce any new rack gear... they mostly do pedals. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 18,2004 12:54pm - dyingmuse ""] of course they have rack gear. what do you think andy la rocque uses |
| ________________________________ [Jan 18,2004 5:00pm - retzam ""] Hahaha, I have a DigiTec Genesis 1. I know it is obselete, don't laugh at me. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 18,2004 5:59pm - goratory ""] anyone use the marshall jmp 1 preamp?? I was looking into that. opinions on it?? |
| ______________________________ [Jan 18,2004 6:03pm - blue ""] personally, i feel that marshall have only been riding the name for too long. its a good preamp, gets good high gain sounds, but there are much better for the money. did you use the chameleon on orgasm induced diarrhea? if you want a great thick low end distortion (thats better than a recitifier) get a pod pro. the insane setting is great. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 18,2004 9:03pm - goratory ""] ya, I used the chameleon on Orgasm along with a 5150 and the dual rec. by itself. |
