Hello everybody,

I'm planning to build my first tube amp. I have experience with electronics, having built a lot of pedals and studio gear, but now I need to taste the tubes!

I would go with the ceriatone builds, but there are many and I don't know which one to choose.

The amp will be mainly used for recordings, so low power is preferred.

I'd like an amp that takes very well fx pedals (fuzzboxes, filters,...)

And even better if it works both for guitar and bass (I'd make different cabinets then)

I don't need super clean sounds, neither high gain death metal distortions.

Single channel would be fine, but must take distortion pedals very well.

Really hope to hear some advice from you.

Regards

Giacomo

Hi guys, It's my first post here! I'm kinda new to valve amplification but I'm starting right now.

I'd like to build a system extremely versatile, mainly for recording purposes.

I need flexibility with the wattage of the power amp, without losing the opportunity of a good sounding pre.

For example, I'd like to use the sound of the JCM preamp, in a Champ power amp!!

I think about using a buffer like the c-lator, which could match the impedances and levels between pre and power sections on different amps.

Do you think that this could work?

Many thanks in advance
