guess the amp

I thought i'd pull this thing out for some experiments. I'll give you a hint, It's all tube.


Note, the speaker in the photo is just to show i mic'd it, its not a 6505+ 112 pre, i'm just using the speaker.

Well I don't think it sounds very good. Maybe it'll be nice as lead tone over a real tube amp rhythm tone. Sometimes weird or wimpy things like this work wonders for lead tones in a mix.

Maybe you can mod it to sound smoother or less fuzzy?

The point was that it works. There was ZERO eq, so that's part of the fizz. The Sheffield i'm sure also contributed.

do you not believe me or something? if that's a joke then its really stupid, and i'd prefer to keep this forum professional.

This is a mic pre? Also, how hard did you hit it? I'm guessing you didn't just plug the guitar in it and hit the +20db switch, there's a lot of gain involved.

your right. i had tried a couple different pedals but i ended up going with a boss MD-2 because of a few characteristics. When trying a simple boost pedal, there was too much low end information and it caused awful low end distortion before getting a high gain distorton. Others gave too much mid honk. The MD-2 has a top and bottom pot as well as a crazy amount of chip gain. Set the bottom as high as a could, for the gain stage i wanted, to add a very nice breakup/ripping distortion characteristic when played hard. Some would describe that as "sandpaper." You just dont get it with some amps, and i find its easier to drive a low wattage tube amp or device to get that sought after crunch. I havnt been able to get my 6505 112 to produce a ripping gain stage like the little pre has. it doesn't get too loud but just buy an amp and your ready to go live. im guessing its around 1/4 watt output.
