Subject: Art Tube MP (was Tube preamps (was Re: ss vs. tubes)

I use a tube MP. It's a very solid, simple tube preamp that produce
about 65-70 dB of gain. I've used it for lots of recording stuff, and
on stage at the Riverbend Festival in Chattanooga and in several smaller
venues. In every case, I was aiming for a fairly clean sound, and the
unit delivered. I don't know how it'll perform as a distortion box.
Clint Hoover uses one; I don't know what sound he's going after with
it.

The 12AX7 tube did go microphonic, so I had to replace it. Not bad for
over a year's worth of service.

The tube MP is alos very useful for recording lots of other instruments,
such as a bass guitar. It makes a good direct box at the end of an
effects loop, too.

The money I spent on mine was well spent.

Thanks, Richard Hunter
