Just wondering if anyone has heard or used the Hughes and Kettner ATTAX preamp. I have chance to buy one for $100 (Possibly cheaper). It's the single rack space tube/solid state one, with main outs, recording outs, and FX loop, and control via MIDI (already have MIDI pedalboard).
I'm looking for something that is heavy as hell. I know H+K caters to detuned crowd with the warp series. I tune my guitars DGCFAD (Same as standard tuning except all strings down a whole-step), and DADGAD. The sound I am roughly after is a cross between a thick-mid-scoop Mesa Dual-Rectifier, and JCM800 thrash-lead tone. I mainly play BC Rich Warlocks (Early NJ's with Kahler's), BC Rich Bich (With Stop Tail-piece). Ibanez RG's (With Edge Low-Pro Tremelos), and a Les Paul Studio.
If anyone has any opinions on the ATTAX please let me know, and let me know how you had it setup (i.e. Into a Stereo PowerAmp>Stereo 4x12 or Inline between guitar and specific guitar amp, and type of sound it had or you wished it had). Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and I'll primarily use it for recording, because the neighbors get a little nervous when I crank the JCM
