Overdriven Tube unit.

Hi Guys,

I have aTLA Fatman tube preamp/compressor/EQ that I really love but it is no good for overdriven tube sounds.

I am looking for something to place before this to get a bit of overdrive, any recommendations?

I don't mind if it is rack mount.

Cheers

Andy

I don't really have the experience to recommend anything, but people speak highly of these, and they're sensibly priced. I recently got a tube head where the preamp is based on those so I know it can do real sweet tube overdrive. And it's british too, in case you care Smile

Ah, yes I read about these in Sound On Sound magazine.

I just found the article and had a re-read and they loved em so I have ordered the HT-Dual http://www.blackstaramps.co.uk/products/ht/htdual.html

Cheers

Well it has arrived, very sturdy piece of kit and looks very well made.

Unfortunately I have taken a very sharp knife to one of my fingers on my left hand so it looks like I will not be playing the guitar for a while.

I am hoping it doesn't need stitches!

No power switch, oh how I hate that.

Accident prone is right, I broke off two of my fingerpicking fingernails the other day and thought that was bad enough!

I was actually sharpening the knife when I cut myself. Embarassed

I have had a little play, it sounds quite good. Cannot really play that much as it is the barre finger, whatever that ones called that is cut and if I move it much the wound opens up.
