So I'm looking at starting small and build a bass preamp based off of the Ampeg B-15. If it is successful, I may attempt a power amp to match.
I generally understand the sonic qualities that a tube rectifier imparts to the overall tone. For just a preamp, would there be enough current draw for it to have a significant effect, or is it primarily in the power amp that the effect occurs.
Or to put it another way, should I use a tube or solid state rectifier in the preamp?
Thanks,
Frank
