I've been using my Ampeg B15-N as a Bass Pre-Amp by running the Line out (EXT AMP) into a direct box then into my Neve Mic Pre & I am really digging it...
BUT, it's a PITA because I have to load the output of the Ampeg with a GIANT Power Resistor when doing this.
Can I just pull the output tubes instead?
- OR -
What I'd like to do is rebuild the Pre-Amp section only - then build a new output stage (Line Driving Level) so I can make life easier & possibly better.
I'm not exactly sure how I should go about doing the output & could use some help.
The output section would be after the 270k mix resistors.
I was considering an LA2A type output or maybe NY Dave's Line Driver & using some EDCORE's Output Transformers. I have 10k:600's.
Since I'm going to rebuild this into a new box... I was wondering about making it more universal, like having a MIC Input TX... so I could also use it as a Mic-Pre.
I LOVE the sound of the 6SL7's.
ANY advise would be great. :green:
