from a Harmony Central review of the Fender Ultimate Chorus:
"i also recently put a behringer mic200 tube preamp in the effects loop. that gave it a nice creamy tone when tweaked right. now with the tube preamp in the effects loop the amp sounds alot sweeter even without the preamps. if you own this unit try it out.. about 60 bucks for the behringer."
I know it's ~possible~ that a $60 desktop mic pre could significantly warm up a SS Fender combo, but how ~probable~ is it? And even if that sort of thing really does work, is the FX loop the best place to add it to the signal chain? Would a TubeWorks Blue Tube (pedal or rack) be better suited?
I've got my eye on a used pre-DSP Ultimate C., and I love what the clean channel does with every position on my strat, but man, turning the second channel's gain above 2 or 3 is some serious harsh.
