Power tube or pre amp fuzz

Author Message   mike mccann Posted on Wednesday, March 23, 2005 - 05:19 pm:    Is the distortion on an HD-130 coming from the solid state pre-amp or are the power tubes being overdriven? For example, if I turn up the pre-volume and keep the master vol at a reasonable level, am I getting true tube distortion or am I just driving the pre-amp as a distortion box? Thanks...   admin Posted on Saturday, March 26, 2005 - 07:54 pm:    That's preamp distortion. Steve
