"Best of the tube pre-amps"

This is actually the SVT-VR preamp which has the better Midrange boost to give that overdriven growl that you get from the original Blue-line Series SVT head. They've added 2 more tone controls. I used to have the all-tube version, but it was just heavy to carry around, and the power stage would over-heat after a couple of hours. This caused saturation of the tubes and the output would go down. Then you couldn't even hear what note you were playing. I always wanted to replace it with solid-state power amps.
