[QUOTE="ludo, post: 33489, member: 691"] Hi Contrabass That looks like a fine idea. I've always thought of valve pre/power instrument amps as more an extension of the instrument than just an amplifier. All the characteristics of each device that one has to try to avoid when building amplifiers, become colours on your palette then. For once there's only one director of proceedings: You. If I might add one more thing to the ingredients: Have a look at [url=http://www.c-ducer.com]http://www.c-ducer.com[/url] I've heard these, many years ago, and it was the greatest advance in good acoustic guitar pickup I'd come across. It handles transients like no piezo has ever done. If you can find one, they're worth a try on the upright. They let you hear the wood in stead of the piezo. [/QUOTE]
