PREAMP- SHIN-EI Big 1 ...magic pixie dust for the perfect tone!

 SHIN-EI BIG 1 PREAMP  
$400.00 USD
Designed by Lee Jackson who in the 70's & 80's hot rodded every Marshall that showed up on every guitar gods album that either was a gold or  platinum seller. He designed for Fender, Ampeg and started up Metaltronics Amplifiers. It would take a book to tell you every really cool thing he started or was part of. Name any Rock Guitar god that is in or came out of California and they are among his personal friends!
A big part of every sound on any classic guitar recording is the preamp on the recording board that the the mic's from the guitar cab went thru has been built in to this box. It can be used as a pre to push your amp but nearly everyone who buys one, turns and leaves it on with the knob on zero!
CONCLUSION
No I do not expect you will buy one. 
BUT ...... if one day you find that perfect sound with the right, guitar, pedals and amp
you will remember this and relize that you are at 99% there ...you are not 100%.
