Cheers for your reply Shred.
I wouldn't say I'm after 'all out metal' sound, but an option of getting a 'heavier' tone is definitely an option I'd like (something I can't get with my current setup).
I've heard clips of JMP1's ranging from 'clean' to a hell of a lot more gain than I'd ever use. Whereas all but 1 of Rocktron Pirhanas clips I've heard have been massively distorted and very fuzzy sounding.
I think I have my FX/MIDI Controller/Power Amp chosen, but now there's just the pre-amp to decide on :roll:
thanx man, good luck.
oh, btw, i forgot to mention another one,
check Carvin Quad-X if you can find.
it's no longer in production now, but i think i saw one
on ebay sometimes.
i don't have it, but i tasted it for couple of hours at my friend's studio
before he sold his via ebay. :)
the sound of quad-x was pretty nice, thicker and heavier than
line6 pod stuff or other simulated sound from boss(vg-88/gt-8.) or
digitech(some gnx).
access is very versatile preamplfier, but i think quad-x is bit more
versatile and warm sounding.
imho, it's little bit similar to carvin legacy amp's sound. :)
i told you access got two 12ax7 tubes, but check this,
quad-x got 9 tubes. hah!
anyway, they're both 2-unit size,
and i think it's almost stealing, if got any of'em for around $400. 8)
it's all about personal preference based on YOUR ear,
but i should say, it's worth to try'em out. :lol:
