Members grunge782 Posted April 16, 2009 Members Share Posted April 16, 2009 Right now I have an Engl 530 preamp, Carvin TS100, Behringer FBQ1502 and an Alesis Power Conditioner. I'm looking to expand my sound by getting another preamp but I want something a bit more cleans worthy. I was wondering how the sansamp psa1 handles cleans and maybe what other preamps are good?

How would you like your cleans? As far as the E530 goes, it has some of the most sterile cleans i've heard in a long time, and i love mine for that! I suppose it has got something to do with your choice of tubes as well. I stuffed two JJ ECC83's in mine, and it has behaved very nicely in terms of brutal-gain and sterile-cleans ever since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jimosity Posted April 16, 2009 Members Share Posted April 16, 2009 If you're down with bright spanky cleans, IMO, you can't get much better than an old Boss GL100 Guitar Driver.It's got more EQ range and tweakability than any other preamp I've ever used to get an incredible clean tone. That cheap old guy sits happily in my rack with my Egnater and AxeFX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engl does have great cleans in that "sterile" regard but im looking for something with more roundness and character to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members prodrigu Posted April 17, 2009 Members Share Posted April 17, 2009 I really like the Triaxis for clean tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sacredgroove Posted April 17, 2009 Members Share Posted April 17, 2009 Mesa V-Twin (rack) has exactly what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TCL808 Posted April 17, 2009 Members Share Posted April 17, 2009 Egnater M4 w/ the Vox, Twin/Dlx, Bassman modules would give you all the KILLER cleans you could want, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mesa V-Twin has 3 modes per channel, so the clean can get a Blackface tone and a Deluxe tone, and it's only 1u for a 3rd of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
