Preamp Tube

What is the difference of using a Tube Preamp pedal and using just a normal Tube Amp?

With hippie music, but as I said tube preamp to limit the damage, etc. Please Tonebone saul_sabia, but I wonder what the difference is the use of preamplifier and amplifier using a preamp pedal. However, if you follow my tube amp and use pedal instead of the preamp preamplifier amplifier. Why do I do this because I did not use the amplifier itself all the time and this compeltely put different colors each time.

Somewhat important in reality. Tube Amplifier has two parts to this -- a step of pre-amplifier and power stage. In stage pre-amplifier signal EQ'd and the gain is applied, and the floor Power Amplifier is forced healthy enough to move the output from the speakers. The myth is that the Preamp Tubes for the tone of tube - is simply not true. Compression dynamic, singing sustain and all the crises come thick conducting tube amplifier * Power *. The problem is not practical to probe Pedal power - you need heat sinks, a rectifier, a radiator protection properly, transformers, and do not forget the filters Food ... and not to mention that on-line voltage watt up - add another processor and heat sink at least. So ... enter the preamp lamps. Then the tone of your voice (the equation) and add win with a tube preamp, but you can not get the "real power Amplifier Tube tone mojo "associated with tube amplifiers. However, the preamp tubes are the extra grace and musically pleasing features have overdrive so that decent work as the circuitry of memory buffer devices in the form of gain pedal. Headroom is probably the big difference from others. An amplifier (again, through feeding tubes) will be a lot of power free space (space for the signal that is amplified in, room, ie a signal to "meet" and increase before the clips in a bad way) while a pedal no - it Therefore, the pedals can distort very easily. A tube foot may have more - but certainly less than a tube amplifier Full Blown (pedal no capacity dissipating heat to try to get the amount of sound energy) In any case, play a preamp pedal valve amplifier status Solid State amplifier that Solid Sound a little better, no doubt about that. How much better depends on the pedal, amplifier, and even how hot the guitars are compressed. The advantage of a strong state is mostly that they are lighter, have not to worry about blowing a tube, and are generally much cheaper .... but it takes a lot of adjusting your cunning and care mojo tube capture.
