Can't wait to see pics of the Motherode Aric. I don't know what a tube regulated power supply is but it sounds cool to me. Can't ever have enough tubes if you ask me.
I wish I understood how gain affects how amps and pre amps worked together better......that's one of the reasons I had Aric build my preamp and amp together, to avoid having to worry about such issues. I know this much I can't turn the volume knob much over 9 o'clock without it become too loud for me.
Brian, you're right the preamp and amp Aric built me sound fantastic......if only they had a cool name like Motherlode! Lol. I'll call the preamp Moe and the amp Foe. What a pair they make 😀
On a different note, great call teajay, Steve Winwoods Greatest Hits Live is a keeper. Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals is another new fav of mine.
