Anybody selling any preamps of a Fendery or Voxy nature?

thecolourbox · May 2015

With an impending house move coming up, my guitar stuff will be sharing space with my lovely lady, so I've been trying to brainstorm different ideas as to what might be a good home setup, but also that could have flexibility to translate to playing in public if needed.

One idea i have is using a valvey preamp, through a power amp into a cab. That way I have the ability of silent home playing, could still use traditional amp cab at home as well, but could also be wanged up loud for playing in public.

Does anybody have any preamps pr modules or whatever (at the lower end of the price scale, say sub £200 ish) they're looking to sell on? As per thread title I'd prefer something either Fendery or Voxy. I had the Marshall one before and it felt like i was playing a much more expensive amp, and sounded great, I'm just not a Marshall man and it didn't suit my preferred styles.

I currently have a Fender Pro Junior and a Mooer Bassman mini head, bit the Fender is too loud for home and the Mooer needs forever tweaking to get an ok sound out of it for me. Been trying to use a jettenuator lately to tame the Fender to home levels but ive not been wholly impressed.

Thought it worth a shout in any case, thanks guys

Those Tech 21 Character pedals are supposed to be good. They are full fledged preamps and even have an emulated out to go straight to PA. They do Fender and Vox types and they seem to go for around £100 each so both would be within budget.

Thanks Drwiddly but I'm more after a "proper" amp style preamp, i enjoy the feel of valve amps but the convenience of that kind of unit, the Marshall one's feature set was awesome just not the right tone for me

There's a guy in Greece who specialises in making the Gilmour Alembic Preamp which is basically a Bassman preamp and any other Fender circuit, -Analog Design Audiophile

He would make you one of these to order quite reasonably.

Yeah I 2nd the tech 21 pedals. Got a fly rig 5 pedal. It's a got fender voice clean channel with speaker simulation. On top of that it's got a plexi style channel and boost. With reverb and tape style delay. It sounds bloody brilliant.

Light as a feather and cheap as chips.

Can plug it straight into a pa, power amp or effect loop.

ps I'm not selling mine just recommended it

I've looked at these a few times, but I've never tried one.

I have a MESA Boogie V2 valve driven pedal pre-amp which has either Fender style clean ,tweed crunch or very full saturated Boogie lead channels -its an incredibly high quality bit of kit -small in size and simply needs a powered cabinet to turn it into a full -on Mesa Boogie rig capable of playing anything from pub to stadium -it can go direct to desk/pa BUT the best bit for you is that it can take a set of headphones plugged directly into it.

This is a particularly good example as I had a famous amp tech re-pot all the dials as they were getting scratchy and replace a couple of soldered joints -its in great sounding and working condition

you tube has plenty of reviews etc

would sell for £225

Bumping this in the vague hope I might not be too slow to catch a cold on any others

I have stuff I might trade towards something:

Fender Pro Junior in tweed

Mooer Bassman Little Monster + 1x10 Vox cab

JHS Twin Twelve overdrive (Silvertone amp in a box)

Jet City Jettenuator

Korg Microkorg

Howdy, Stranger!
