Hi,
Got a few questions if anyone would like to make any suggestions.
I used to crank a
Marshall JMP-1 preamp into a Peavey Basic 50 Bass head, as a quasi-dummy load/attenuator for the preamp. I ran the 'preamp out/power amp in' to a
power amp, this sounded awesome, but now as I use the Peavy Basic 50 head alone or with another non-cranked preamp, I notice that there is a dramatic loss of volume. I know this wasnt smart to do, but it was a cheap head, and I like to experiment, plus it sounded great. I was wondering since I most likely overloaded the input and possibly blew something, is there a quick fix I can perform with a certain component and soldering iron?
2nd question would be: does anyone know any reasonable, reliable, tube amp techs in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area?
And does anyone have a link to a good reasonable source to buy tubes from online besides the usual musiciansfreind.
What are the clearest sounding most 'Middy' preamp tubes in your opinion(s)?
Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks
