Re: Studio Preamp/Boss GT8 substitute
I dig rack gear myself. The PSA whips major ass on other preamps I went through and that includes a couple modeler units that sounded like Niagara Falls or had annoying clock tick artifacts on their "effects" circuit.
Hard to find a real preamp that is not a one trick pony, sounds good only on uber gain or is noisy as hell.
Tech21 makes those smaller amp "character" pedals which are really better than one might think. The blonde can do clean Fender's like you would not believe. Tech21 often offers a Deluxe version of these on their web site for limited supply, they have more features and preset buttons. 100% analog they just sound better than most mimic pedals.
The test for any good guitar preamp for me is the range of tones from clean to gains, how amp like and "tubish" they sound, few measure up to be sure.
