Default Running a tube preamp into a solid state preamp?

Is it possible to run a tube preamp (just for tone shaping) into the preamp on a guitar/bass amp safely?

I'm just learning about tube amps. So don't flame me if its not good to do, lol.


Thanks

I would expect that you simply have too much gain then; means tiny input makes horrible noise.

Doesn't have your unit a power amp input that you could use?

Have fun, Hannes

Guitar? Yes.

That's what many "stompboxes" do

Cheers!

My Peavey TNT100 doesn't have a power amp in but my Pyramid GA800 guitar amp does.
