| My amp went bad in my rack system and I am using a Sarno Revelation for a pre amp, I have a 66 Fender Duel Showman head and a Session 400 amp. Is there going to be a problem running my rev. thru one of those amps? Thanks. Chuck |

Depends what you mean by a problem. You really should bypass the preamp section on either amp when using the Rev.
That might be easier to do on the Session.

| Jay, running the rev. pre amp thru another pre amp, I did not know if that would have any adverse effect on sound or equipment. How do I bypass the pre amps on the session or fender amps?? Thanks for your reply. |

Old session 400's don't have a "power amp in". The Nashville, Vegas, etc. might have been the first ones with that feature in the peavey line.
However, I've ran a tube pre in front of another pre before. It's worked really well going into fenders but not so well into my session 400. Clean headroom goes way up with a preamp in front of my bandmaster fwiw. You'll only have to crack the volume open a tiny bit on the fender, and start with the master way down on the preamp. |

An instrument amp can accept a line level signal, but turn the volume way down. Or turn the output of the Rev way down.
