why not just add a kingsley maiden preamp pedal to an existing solid state setup? IMO, you're always better off having the tubes external...

The stock EQ settings are pretty meh, but with an EQ pedal in the loop, it's much more useable. Wonder if the Kingsleys or similar pedals might work better in the loop as well, but I've never had a close look at a Henriksen to even know if they are equipped with one.
Need to pull a trigger on either a Henriksen or a Quilter some day,but hard to AB them in my neighborhood, let alone find either. I like the idea of a head better than another combo, especially the small Quilters. I think you've had an opinion on these 2 amps somewhere, will have to dig and do some reading. I always trust your ears.

henriksen does have an effect loop but - at least on the new amps - it's a stereo 1/4 jack so you need a stereo to dual 1/4 cable to use it. However, when I had a blu-10, I just ran the maiden and later my fractal into the front of the amp. The henriksen preamp has a ton of headroom and is very flat so I found it convenient to use the front of the amp and then it gave me convenient access for tweaking the tone controls.
I haven't bonded with any of the quilter heads. To me, they all have a high mid hump that I find a little nasally. There's a capacitor mod you can make by putting a bypass cap on the hot and ground leads of a 1/4 jack which I tried. It bypasses some but not all of the nasallyness. I'm using a fractal FM3 primarily so for me, the answer was to use a SS bass amp. There are so many great bass amps that are super loud, super clean and work great for jazz guitar or for rock/blues/fusion with a fractal or some type of tube pedal. For my steady wednesday duo gig (guitar/bass) I bring my fractal and an Alto 10" powered pa cab. It sounds great. Literally better than any "guitar amp" i've ever owned. The maiden or tube pedal would work similarly...
