Members uebs Posted March 7, 2004 Members Share Posted March 7, 2004 hi, does anybody have any experience with the rocktron gp4?it's relatively cheap here, and i'm in the market for a new tube preamp with midi. how are the sounds? the most important would be a twin, deluxe reverb and jcm800 soundwise for me...

Members Beagle1 Posted March 7, 2004 Members Share Posted March 7, 2004 I have not played the Rocktron VP4...but I know that Bruce Egnater, who designed it, has said that the design philosophy behind this pre is basically hot-rodded Vox AC-30 meets Mesa Dual Rectifier. So, it may not be what you are looking for. If what you really want is Fender and Marshall tones, then check into Egnater's IE-4 or his new M4 modular preamp.

Members uebs Posted March 7, 2004 Author Members Share Posted March 7, 2004 hm, vox and mesa isn't really what i'm looking for..thanks for teh recommendation but i bet it's difficult to get those here in austria, and my price range is rather limited as well any other recommendations probably?

Members Beagle1 Posted March 7, 2004 Members Share Posted March 7, 2004 Yes, I would guess Egnater stuff would be hard to find in Austria, although maybe in Germany? You might look around for the Randall RM4. This is basically the same 4-channel modular MIDI preamp as Egnater's M4...it's just manufactured in Asia and distributed by Randall. Also, the RM4 is a little less expensive than the M4. Randall/Egnater have several different Fender and Marshall modules for the RM4/M4: Twin, Deluxe, Bassman, JTM-45, Plexi, "Brown", SL+...take your pick, they all sound fantastic. Check Randall's web site for more info: http://www.randallamplifiers.com Here is the info for the Randall distributor in Austria: Kauth Electronik & MusikinstrumenteWinterthurstrasse 3A-6060 Hall in TirolContact: Kauth HelmuthE-Mail: kauth.hc@tirol.comTel. 43-5223-56335Fax. 43-5223-43578 Another thought...since you're in Austria, have you considered a trip to Munich to check out a Diezel?
