actually here is my next question ..
ive "thought" about ditching my mesa dual rectifier head and sourcing a preamp version and just hooking it into the rack with my newly acquired VHT2902 poeramp... so then i thought well .. i could use the slave out on the head into the vht power amp to "seee" how it sounds .. and well i was disappointed .. it sounded empty and NOTHING like how the head sounds on its own.. i wonder is that because of the poweramp section of the boogie head? or the different tubes (boogie 6l6 .. vht kt88s?)..
i thought it would sound good still but it lost alot of .. everything really .. i got the idea it would sound good from this youtube link. the boogie preamp sounds awesome and exactly like my head does in this link.. *shrug* ..he's using a randal poweramp though with 6l6's and el34's in differetn channels

im wondering now perhaps my poweramp is not as versatile as i thought? Sounds awesome with the Soldano x88r preamp!
any reason why the sounds could be soo different?
