Anyone have personal experience with these? I played through the MTS head and tried about 6 of those swappable preamp modulars. It was unbelievable. Went from oversaturated metal to a break up blues/rock tone all through the same amp, just swapping out a different preamp. These are all tubes...

Hey I own a couple of nice Hughes and Kettner "pro class" amps. I saw on another web site that Hughes and kettner were pulling out of the US market, or should I say they will not have US dealers anymore. 1) anyone know if this is true 2) will that have a possitive or negative effect on the...
