Great tone!

@ThiagoPug That's NOTHING compared to the tone I got last night after installing new presets I downloaded from a user group. I finally have my perfect distortion tone after 3+ years of looking. Gonna post a 3rd and final video sometime soon.

You need a REAL tube power amp.I played a mosvalve (1160)? sounds like shit and not even close to a real proffessional amp.It doesnt even come close to doing that voodu valve justice! Belive me", you plug that VV into a VHT or Marshall or Boogie power amp and it will blow your mind! I still have my pirahna, and I finally picked up an Voodu Valve and I absolutely Love it! I was totally against digital until now'. some very authentic and organic tones in that Preamp!.

@dewycatt2112 Perhaps you're right but I'm cheap. Plus I just bought a 200 watt Carvin 1-space power amp that works pretty well with the thing. And it weighs only 4 pounds, so that's certainly a plus. After bulk-loading all new presets last night I'm completely happy with my setup. I think it sounds incredible considering how cheap it is. I'll post another video with these new presets for download if the guy who made them will let me.

I like this set up. How much this it cost you for everything?

[dewycatt2112]

Carvin is Good!

nice SCHECTER!!!

thx for the demo . i think what you did ( using the left output ( headphones output ) and plug a cab give good result for someone in a dorm /bedroom who doesnt need power . + you already have a great preamp and cab that your gonna use later with a great power amp . this set up actually give better result than most POD etc.. which are mostly practice gear you will get rid later . thumb ups , i always thought i was crazy to plug a cabinet into the "headphone out" but it work great .

@MrSatch34 I just use the left output of the preamp going directly into the cabinet with a speaker cable. If you turn the output knob up and have the mixer level high enough in the preset you can play it without a power amp, easily. Not loud enough for playing with a band or anything, but loud enough for bedroom-volume practicing.
