hello!

I have got myself a EL34 100/100 poweramp

now I am wondering about what preamp I shall use

1) I have a MF350 hybrid amp with tube preamp and mosfet power amp, so my first option is to use the preamp out from that amp

2) my other thougt is to sell the MF350 and buy a JMP-1 preamp, have it modified (to use the tubes better), and then use that as my preamp

thankful for advice which would be the best for me

(I am mainly sort of "plug-in-and-play", so I wouldn't use much of all the adjustment possibilities apparently offered by the JMP-1, but rather just use it as a preamp)

3) perhaps there is another better preamp for me out there? (Marshall doesn't seem to sell tube preamp anymore?)

So many! Rocktron Gainiac & Voodoo. Engl has one out now for 600.00. ADA MP1 and MP2. Mesa's Triaxis, Recto, and V Twins. Bogner Fish and Triple Giant. Marshall JMP1.

I've tried bunches of them, I like the Bogner preamps best but still prefer my old conventional heads and cabs.

What about the cae 3+se then, which many people seem to hold in high regard?

(I would like a Marsahll better for the look, but if they have stopped making preamps I guess one is excused to convert!)
