Head-Fier
I’m about to join the ranks of the ampsandsound community. Just purchased a used late version of the Bigger Ben (rev 1 with some rev 2 features). Big thanks to Justin @ampsandsound for answering a lot of questions. I really appreciate the personal interaction that comes with this hobby with certain manufacturers like ampsandsound, ZMF (I have a stabilized VC), and JDS Labs. I’m also wondering about preamps, and trying to get my head wrapped around them, and watching the ongoing discussion on this thread. What are the characteristics I should be looking at in a preamp? I can see that the BB amp has an input sensitivity of 3.1V, so a preamp that can provide that voltage will be able to drive the BB to full volume. But I’m sure there are current and impedance considerations there too. Any guidance for a semi-technically minded tube amp newbie?
