ebenezer Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 How about the tried and tested littlemark 2/3....more than enough welly, indeed as loud as a streamliner 900 i owned briefly, and you could pick one up at a good price! Quote
JapanAxe Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1456303666' post='2987474'] Has anyone on here ever had a valve pre go bad? I suspect the role of the preamp valve in hybrid deaths is minimal... [/quote] No, and that includes gigging all-valve guitar amps for the last 20 years. EDIT 1: Far more likely for the Class D power stage to die! EDIT 2: Just checked out the Streamliner 900 schematic, and both the effect return and the aux input come in [i]after[/i] all the valves, but [i]before[/i] the master volume. Thus if one of your valves died on a gig, you could plug your bass into one of these sockets and at least get some kind of a signal. The input impedance is about 100k, so it would work best with an active bass, or via a buffered pedal (or better still a preamp pedal). I haven't tried this, so no idea how loud it would be.
