Tube power amp question...

Hi,

I am looking into getting a tube power amp to go with my Line 6 POD Pro, and i was wondering if any of you guys could recommend any, and where i could get them from (uk).

Cheers in advance,

Oli

why would you bother? if you're using a POD you've allready ruined your chances on a tube sound

might be a better idea to get some SS poweramp, much cheaper plus you won't hear much difference because you're using a line 6 pod as a preamp...

Marshall has plenty used poweramps going around, especially in the UK.

i'm the dude with the cs 800... now that i just bought my totally bitchin h&K triamp, the cs-800 has been put back into the PA and the jmp-1 i was using with is now hanging out with some gear bro in canada. i'll miss it. kinda...

the cs-800 is tits if you need insane volume and super headroom. no joke, this thing can reach the same volume as a 100w tube head before it even clips, and that's just if you're using one side like i was.

my only gripe is that it's 3 spaces tall, 14" deep and weighs a million pounds. other than that it's one of the coolest poweramps i've ever used. especially for it being s.s. and all.

there are two versions:

the gay version that is old and looks like shit

and

the cool sexy kind like mine

both are discontinued... but can be had for $250-$400 used depending on the condishion.

i was lucky enough to simply "get" mine.
