  • I love Tube amps
Hey all I'm wanting to try adding a lnd150 Fet preamp to the front of a Lamington Reverb to compensate for the slight volume drop when on. http://www.hawestv.com/amp_projects/amp_solid_tube/art_guitar_amp/lnd150_preamp.png. As I'm only wanting a relatively small volume increase I'm assuming I'll need to add a volume pot at the end. Just wondering what size pot would be appropriate. Thanks!

I don't know if this would be helpful or not?  It's the only amp I can think of that has an FET at the front end of a tube amp.  Disregard if not useful.


with respect,  Tubenit

The schematic looks like a Dumble FET section in an ODS, if I'm not mistaken.   In any event, there is a fair amount of discussion regarding FET sections over at the ampgarage in the Dumble Discussions sub-forum.
