I hear it's good with modelers and it's made for guitars...any good with tube preamps? I have to play at extremely low volumes and i'm a bedroom rockstar only...think the rocktron would do ok with randall modular preamp for my purposes?
 
Used to have one in my rack.. with various things over the years - a Rockrton solid state preamp, a H&K Access, and several ENGL tube preamps, and a JMP-1. It does great with all of them, feels relatively close to a Tube power amp.. maybe get ya 90% there. But yes - it works fine with tube pre's...
 
Yup... it RULES. LOVE mine! I have the 2U earlier model and have read that many prefer those over the newer 1U ones.

Anyways... I used to run a Vox Tonelab LE into mine (has a 12AX7 preamp tube0 and it sounded great. But it sounds even better with my Eleven Rack. In fact, I had a friend's VHT 2/50/2 tube power amp to A/B with and I vastly prefered the Velocity to it with the 11R. SO much more punch, clarity, definition, presence, etc.

Yup. The man cave used to be just a wall of amps. But I started selling-off amps last year and replacing them with food and other stocks. Actually, I've been into preparedness for years and mostly just kept those cupboards full of canned goods. But I decided to expand the food and shrink the amps. Times get tough enough... all the boutique gear in the world won't be worth a can of beans. :thumbsup:

I had the 2U as well :rock:
 
I have the older single space Velocity 150. It's a killer amp and plenty loud for any bedroom dweller. The reactance and definition on the older ones is where it is at.
 
Nothin' says metal like baked beans and Bogners! :rock:


I've been curious how my Velocity 300 would work with preamps too actually. I use it for W/D/W now and it works great for that. I'd love to try a JMP-1 into it one day.
