Yeah, I’m firmly in the stomp-box camp. Companies like Line 6 and Vox are doing great things, but I still feel removed from the sound when I play digital effects. Maybe it’s all psychological, but it feels like I’m “triggering” something instead of “playing” something, ya know?
The worst for me is, I bought a little Vox DA5 with a bunch of effects, and it just made me go out and buy more stomp-boxes, since I wanted to try the “real” version.

fantomenosMember2nded! An affordable tap-tempo trem would be sweet.
fantomenosMemberI’ve used the LPB 2-ube as a preamp into a (solid state) power-amp. Seems to provide plenty of oomph. The power amp is only 200 watts, but with the LPB in front it’s loud as hell.
In general, this is an unanswerable question, or rather it is specific to what pre and power amps you use, and what kind of resistances are present. As far as I know, there’s no industry standard definition of what “pre-amp” means, in terms of what power amps it should be able to drive.
fantomenosMemberSweet! Let us know how you like it. I got the SFT (I’m another bass player) and I love it.
fantomenosMemberMan, I love it when someone gets on a forum of any kind and says “There’s one thing I want to do, can you guys help me?” and the whole internet responds by saying “Don’t do the thing you want to do!”
It’s just such an internetty thing, that combination of scorn and unhelpfulness.
That said, don’t sell that amp fjr, are you crazy?!
fantomenosMemberI think we have to save mole for the mexican sauce with cocoa. That joke would make sense, if I knew how to put the accent over the e.
And since I was thinking food, not cocktails, it took me until the 2nd page to think of:
The Graphic Fuzzy Navel! Vodka, OJ, Peach Schnapps in a glass with porn on the side.
Seriously, I can’t believe that took so long…

Cuz that’s what should definitely work, and if it doesn’t, you need to troubleshoot that before going any further.
fantomenosMemberWell, say what you want about the Behringer pedals (I don’t own any, so no dog in this fight), but they certainly can take a beating:
fantomenosMemberJust wanted to chime in and say I just scored a Punkifier last week for $55.
I love it, such a weird pedal, to go from tubescreamy od to fuzz-face harshness.
Those old DOD pedals really are different…
fantomenosMemberFYI Raddar, if your amp has a “line-out” jack, you could connect that (via a standard guitar cable) into the input of the 22 (or the 44) and run a set of speakers with the original amp, and another set of speakers with the 22, with both controlled by the eq on your amp. That’d be the easiest way to double your power, and nothing would have to blow up.
fantomenosMemberDarkAxel: Have you heard Mike Patton’s new one “Mondo Cane”? It’s in heavy rotation in my car right now, I really like it.
John J: Totally agree with you regarding the new Melvins. Good Melvins is so very, very good that I’ll forgive the occasional “Colossus of Destiny” or “Prick”, but this latest album feels like it should have been an EP, or needs about 4 more heavy rockers. My fave of their recent output was the Jello Biafra team-up, but I think I’m in the minority on that one.
fantomenosMemberI think the cool cat chorus (esp the old 18-volt version) is a gorgeous pedal.
