Members grunge782 Posted March 12, 2011 Members Share Posted March 12, 2011 My humble rack;Tech 21 PSA1.1 into Digitech 2120 (effects only) into a Carvin (single space DCM200).A lot of sounds in that PSA1.1 I loved my PSA. Really fat clean tones and the high gain had this really cool grind to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cougar Hunter Posted March 12, 2011 Members Share Posted March 12, 2011 This is why i freaking LOVE this place. i am in process of swapping preamps and this thread was a perfect read, gave me lots of good ideas.i am really digging what i am reading and hearing about the Groove Tubes Trio. whats a fair price? there is one on ebay right now, 750 opening bid, 850 buy it now. fair?? I would hold out, dude. I got a MINT brownface with the footswitch for $610 during the gear boom when gear prices were high. I would def stay under $700 shipped.

I like it, but I would sell it back to you since I don't play it very often. It's not fair to the unit. You game? $215 again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Firebrand Posted March 12, 2011 Members Share Posted March 12, 2011 In my shred days the SS preamplifier to beat: Boss GL-100 guitar line driver Then I upgraded to: Hughes & Kettner Attax preamplifier w MIDI Then I found an Ricktron ProGAP via Daddy's Junkie Music used gear by mail. About two months later I got to swap a gutiar for a Mesa TriAxis 2.0 Then I was in what used to be a music store when a guy opened his new shop. He found a Rocktron ProGAP Ultra new in box in a closet while cleaning and sold it to me for $120. Those are the ones I owned worth mentioning that have not been so far. The Ultra was a really good preamplifier and actually rivaled the Mesa. It was the first preamplifier I came across to feature modeling concepts including three different rectifier emulations.

Members Cougar Hunter Posted March 12, 2011 Members Share Posted March 12, 2011 I had a pro gap ultra for a while. I would like to own one again, sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You game? $215 again? Nah, I don't think I'll be doing the rack rig thing again. I really like having just a floorboard unit (pod hd) and a small amp/combo. Makes things much simpler for me.

Members Reauchambeau Posted March 12, 2011 Members Share Posted March 12, 2011 i used to rock one of these things: wasn't bad- just got sick of carrying it around as another piece of gear when the pedal is as effective and needs 2 less cables. i liked the boost and the contour on it though-- helped dial stuff in-- but in the end the tube driver pedal sounded better to me. exact same experience for me, you wouldn't think the pedal would sound better but it does. I found the bias knob to be useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
