As an experiment I put an ART tube preamp in front of my solid state amp to see if it would warm up the tone a bit if the guitar went through the tube first in the chain. After balancing the input and output of the device I turned down the guitar amps preamp knob. The guitar sounded a little warmer , brighter, louder , and a bit compressed compared to going straight into the amp.Although putting a preamp in front of a preamp seems redundant, I'm going to continue using it and maybe try putting it in the effects loop today. Has anyone else tried this approach ? just curious and wonder if anyone cares to comment.

thanks
