Marshall 9004 SS preamp - any good

Just seeing if the Marshall 9000 series SS preamp has any love 'round these parts. They pop up cheap and mock me.

Oh, and where can a fella get a shave and a room for the night?

Dunno the answer to the first part, but the answer to the second part is Happiness Hotel:

They are very similar to the preamp section in the old 800 series SS amps...which for SS, is pretty darned good. Billy Gibbons used one in his rack at the time..i suspect it replaced the lead 12 head he had been using. The preamp was more flexible in the EQ section, and it had a bit more gain than 800 SS combos and heads.

I had one - won it in a prize draw at a Marshall promotion. Got a Spinal Tap poster signed (in person) by Jim Marshall that night too. It was very good and was great going into a desk for recording. Better than the later Valvestate stuff. I swapped it for a nice big bag of something I was smoking a lot of at the time.
