Members Crunchtime Posted February 27, 2012 Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 WTF? The Rockmaster is one of the coolest preamps ever, imo. Why does Peavey not capitalize on their potential domination of the preamp market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ShaneV2 Posted February 27, 2012 Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 Tube preamps are out of style right now, very few companies make them because there just isn't a demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tedmich Posted February 27, 2012 Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 yah every one fell off the rack mount bandwagon like 10 years ago...maybe time for a "re-trending" but I suspect implanted modeling microcomputers are a more likely trend: "just plugged into the Bugera server and downloaded the now OS! I was sooo bored with this mornings patch!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted February 27, 2012 Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 Rack gear is still strong, just not with tubes. Most rack gear is using modeling now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucius Posted February 27, 2012 Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 They need to make a midi capable version of the rockmaster. The tubefx was a decent little unit, just released at the wrong time I think> cheers, Lucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ENdtime Posted February 27, 2012 Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 Rockmaster definitely was a great preamp.. Wish I held onto mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was jamming with a JMP-1 the other day and the {censored} was sweet. Check out this new modeller, captures the intricate and organic sound of that classic tube warmth for only $2000!! Wow cool bro! Hey check out this preamp, with real tubes and a real tone circuit! dude bro that {censored} is OUTDATED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheIgnoramus Posted February 27, 2012 Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 Well, since I'm one of those luddites that prefers preamps to modelers or profilers, how does the Peavey Rockmaster sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members M-III Posted February 27, 2012 Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 Sadly, the days of most regular joes with refrigerator racks worth of gear is no longer "in vogue" or common, due to either costs, lack of manufacturer products or just sheer weight concerns IMHO... In my experiences, most guitarists prefer a head and cabinet setup tonally to a rack setup, as well as it being a more simpler solution and setup. Now there are still a number of pros who use rack amps/preamps/processors and so forth, but as mentioned, digital modelers are quickly overtaking that small market of guitar amplification. I'd love to see Peavey reissue the Rockmaster preamp without a doubt, but I know that ain't gonna happen when they have a number of Ultra lineage amps still in their current lineup, like the XXXII and 3120.

Members StankNasty Posted February 27, 2012 Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 Didn't PV also have some Transtube preamps that kicked a good bit of ass? Pretty sure I remember a floor-based one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
