RE: OT: Getting that tube amp sound w/o a tube amp



Also, the Tonelab has a pretty good Tubescreamer built in, along with a good heavy fuzz and a very useful treble boost, among other effects.

Nice.  I figured running through a tube>then a POD or tonelab> DI > SBD > PA.  Good to hear what others are using and liking.  I may try the POD.  I hear it's great for the studio and maybe with a decent tube infront (or behind) it'll sound ok thru my PA.  -Adam

There are lots of "amp modelers" to choose from for this exact purpose. I'm a big fan of the vox tonelab, but the best way to figure out what one works best for you is to try a bunch of them.  Lately I'm really loving the sounds I get from amplitube 2

I am looking for a way to get a nice warm tube overdrive (strat) thru my PA (bose LP1) without micing a guitar amp.  Since I loop (EDP) I don't want my guitar coming out of an amp and PA during the recording phase and then only out of the PA in the looping phase. 

Any ideas on how I can get a nice tone from my Strat w/o micing a nice tube amp?  do I need a tube preamp?  My tube screamer sounds great into a tube amp, but sounds really ratty through the PA.  Is there a PA screamer?

Best,
