Color preamp

Here is how I'm rocking with Skunkie Designs.

Used lowest-priced parts to build. Sounds very good. First time ever electronic build. First to tube listening other than mom's old am table radio. My setup is the Tascam Profesional cd-400u , with am/fm tuner ,sd, sdhc,

usb, bluetooth playback connected to Skunkie Designs Color pre-amp with ge 12au7 's nos tubes and 

Electo-harmonix 6ca4 new rectifier tube. Into the 

Fossi audio v3 stereo amp to Cervin Vega E715 speakers 400 watts RMS with a a frequency response of 26Hz-20kHz and a sensitivity of 102 dB @ 2.83V. Very clean and crisp with a good raspy kinda sound. I've got the input pre-amp pot's at max. Ouput pre-amp pot turned down to adjustment for the Fossi audio v3 stereo amp. 

I keep the Fossi volume about 12 o'clock 

for 80 db ten feet away. Listening to Fm and CD. Zz top, BTO, Blackfoot, led zeppelin. 

I was thinking of. What about adding a tube 

spring reverb to something to the playback of recorded music, vocals. Having fun. Thanks for the information 

Skunkie. 

The best wishes Gary

Hi all

What about adding a tube 

spring reverb to something”

Great idea!

The logical place for that option would have to be the Color preamp

That said.. how involved would such an additional circuit be? I’d * think .. not half as involved/ extra parts as the preamp itself

Would likely require a larger case.

I’d be very interested in a package like that

Could be especially appealing to a lot of guitarists

Regards

Richard
