Members adambomb Posted December 25, 2007 Members Share Posted December 25, 2007 I want to run my ZOOM G9.2tt through a power amp into a marshal 4/12 cab. My question is: Since the ZOOM has tubes in it already, will a solid state power amp suffice?Would a tube power amp give it too much tube saturation? any feedback (no pun intended ) would be most appreciated.

Members adambomb Posted December 25, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 25, 2007 OH, are both the amps you tried it through just clean power amps, or is there a preamp involved with the poweramp as well?(sorry I'm not really a techie, I should know more about that stuff ...)thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was merely stating that thru a tube power section it will sound warmer and feel more dynamic . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rushtallica Posted December 25, 2007 Members Share Posted December 25, 2007 I haven't used the Zoom pre, but my V-Ampire head sounds a lot better going out into the fx return of my Ultra Plus tube amp by far than using the V-ampire's own SS power section.
