Peavey TB RAXX Valve Bass Preamp

As much as I love pre and power amp combinations, the Trace and the VT bass cover most of the ground I need covered, and the excess of valve guitar heads cover the rest. So this is spare. Fairly simple valve pre, 3 band passive eq, followed by a three band active post gain one, so can get trad and modern options from it. This is loaded with two JJ Tesla 12ax7. It has 1v and 3v outputs, so it can power valve slave power amps that need a lot of input.

3 band passive EQ? 2 pre-amp valves? Sounds like my v-type pre-amp and that sounds incredible. Augmented by the active EQ, the tone from this thing must just be unbelievable.

Have a bump on me.

[url="http://www.steamingaudio.myzen.co.uk/docs/TB_Raxx_circuit.pdf"]Here is the Peavey schematic[/url]

and the Trace one [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=24430&view=findpost&p=254443"]is here.[/url]

Not convinced they are super similar. The peavey seems to have a nicer drive, but guessing it is designed for that more than the Trace.
