Excellent Tube Preamp

Even though this is a tube preamp really for vinyl or streaming music off your computer, it also sounds fantastic as a lower volume guitar amp if you get an adaptor cable. (As a warning: if you do this, make sure to have both speakers hooked up, even though the guitar is mono and will only play through one of them, so you don't fry out the tubes the side without a current load. Also, don't play through tweeters because you will probably blow them out.)

After playing music on a digital amp, this thing will blow them away in terms of sheer sound quality. On top of that, it's self biasing, so you can swap out the tubes and try different ones, until you find a pair you really like the sound of. This is a good learning tool for guitarists, because usually Marshall has an EL34 tone, while Fender has the 6L6 tone. This thing can do both, plus it takes KT88s as well, like a modded Marshall would have. Since it's really intended for records, it has a warm but less coloured tone than a Fender, Marshall or Mesa Boogie.

Since it's not a traditional amp, it's also very easy to change the speakers, whereas with a traditional combo amp, you're pretty much stuck with whatever size speakers it came with in the factory. I've played my tube preamps through a cheap 12 inch Magnavox speaker and they've all sounded amazing. Then you can switch to it up to studio monitors to see how it would sound to someone listening with a car or computer setup.

All in all, if you're on a budget and don't want to sacrifice quality, this is the thing to get.
