Also looking at the vox
MV50 Boutique - Vox Amps
and using the speaker emulated headphone/line out jack
to feed the PA direct ....
So many ways to do the Pre-amp As DI thing
i think I'm well down the rabbit hole now ....
I probably should stop looking now and do some playing !

But sometimes in the studio situation different things work better or worse, depending on your engineering abilities and other plug ins or tone shaping tools you have available.
I used own a real Dumble and while it was a great amp. I was able to get as good of tone with the Sansamp rackmount and other eq, tube pres and a marvelous recording engineer.

While the Kingsley stuff is great, because of that YouTube Pedal show you'll wait on your Kingsley pedal forever… The wait list on amps is 4 years currently, for the pedals a bit less but still… If you're lucky, you can find them on Reverb (with a nice gear availability bonus fee for the seller of course).
Unfortunately, not many builders have caught up to this type of compact high voltage tube pedal yet (The Kingsley pedals are made well and sound great, but no magic here— F style circuitry with a charge pump to get the proper high voltage).
At this point, a midrange modeller is probably better in terms of sound/convenience/flexibility/price if you need to go direct than any dedicated 'preamp'

to MAJackson
so are you saying that ’touch sensitivity
at the edge of breakup’ needs valves ?
and that they can be pre-amp valves like the 12ax7
but they should be running at proper high voltage as they would be in a
Tube amp ....
i think that quite a few valve pedal designs use a 12ax7
but run it at a low voltage (around 12volts or so)
can those designs achieve good
‘TSATEOB’. in your opinion ?

I'm saying that the Maiden is, in my opinion, the best preamp pedal out there. It sounds better than any modeller, and I've tried a bunch of modellers. It can make any solid state amp sound like a tube amp, and a good quality tube amp at that. I've been using it with a Milkman The Amp and the two make for a great grab and go rig.

many thanks
-
the milkman products are VERY expensive. their preamp is $300 more than the kingsley
-
TBF The Milkman has other features including power amp, reverb and tremolo
-
man they’re all expensive to me !
i wondering if any cheap , high voltage
pre-amps will turn up
thinks ....
or maybe i could re-purpose an
ultra-low wattage valve amp head
i believe you can get like
1 watt tube amps these days ....

Just an idea: Fender MTG Tremolo Pedal.
You can skip the tremolo & use it at unity ( 9 o'clock) or beyond that as boost.
Uses a tube. Buy it & try it, send back if it ain't right.
Besides, the Jazz Police are not alert to tremolo; they don't know what it is.

Bloody love my ART tube preamp as well. Sounds amazing through any amp, and dutchbopper uses it DI.
-
thanks , yes they sound great
for cleans ....
does it it do any touch sensitivity
on the edge of breakup ?
not high voltage tho
im wondering if i need High voltage
to get that
blackstar do an interesting
high voltage tube preamp
https://blackstaramps.com/uk/products/ht-dual
more dough though
-
The Fender MTG's use an internal "switch mode" power supply to translate 9v D.C. to 150V.
Probably right for the particular tube they're using.
-
wow this is great
I think the Quilter sounds best to me
really useful videos
thanks all

Last Week I bought the "Super Black" pedal from "Mad Professor". I connected it to the "Power Amp in" of my Fender Blues-Deluxe Reissue, and it sounds great to me.
Super Black is vintage blackface tone in a box by Mad Professor
