ART Tube MP Preamp Review, Part 1 of 5, The Truth about Preamps

[ToneTaster]

Probably yes but probably not a great idea. You would have to keep the various input/output levels in check so as not to overdrive the following stage to hard; and might be impedence matching issues that could cause tone loss. The TubeMP does not distort in a great way. Better off with a tube device meant for guitar that can also take a line level signal like a keyboard. Running keyboard into a bass amp may not be the best idea in the first place unless bass amp also designed for line level.

I am a tube newbie....... is it possible to use this preamp going from my keyboard

out to my bass amp input or effects loop return? Can't find any info online other than using for mic/recording purposes only. The digital od/distortions just don't

sound right to me so looking at a possible tube "preamp" for more natural sound

ing gentle distortions

@pirinst yes a preamp can be use to boost/warm any audio frequency i would go from the instrument to the art to the effects then into the amp but i had one of these and im kind of mad that i got rid of one of these because i just got a line6 150 halfstack and want to warm it up but anyways go for it
