cant afford a soldano,rectifier? or some other amp heads you always loved? then check out AMT Electronics legend series pedals i own a S-1(soldano slo preamp) and a R-1(dual rec red channel preamp) there $129 with free shipping they are preamps not effects pedals run them in the return of your effects loop my S-1 and R-1 are both dead on copys of these 2 amps hell of a lot cheaper than buying the heads if you look on youtube a guy called burgerman does great demos of them.
anyway i got them and used them and i must say and share with you that these preamps are great.
