HI & a few words/questions ...

i just found this great site, so Hello to everyone!

i am from germany and mostly a electronic musican. I do some kind of experimantal music. I am not a guitarplayer or play any other instruments. All i can do is making noise ;) I do music about 14years now and i have a couple of synth and other studiogear of course..

well i am in the tube-area here, so i would like to talk about tube gear a bit. I am not a technical guy, but i have some ideas and i am searching my "personal" tube amp. It should be perfect for "sigalprocessing" on Linelevels. I don´t really need a good micpre...

there are tons of tubeamps outthere, and many companies just make a lot of money with just the hype. Well i also bought me a couple of tubedriven gear: cheapass: studioelectronics vtb1, behringer ultrafex( :apathic:) and a bit better one that a guy called reussenzehn build up for me... i like the reussenzehn the most, because it have lot of power

to ask a question:
what do you guys think in generall about all those companies? Do they just make money with it? are there any affortable tubepre´s in a good pricerange -say about 500€? any suggestions?

it would be great to find someone who can build me one for my personal needs. I had an idea about a circuit, which i never saw on any device. It allows to hear just the "tubecolour", without the orginal sound. Thats what i want :)

okay...enough for now... hope someone will reply

:D
 
what do you mean exactly?
i am not in diy, so this is maybe more complicated. It would be just nice to talk about it (see above). I am interested in this whole thing, and curious if those selfmade tubeamps could be something for me. Maybe i found someone who builds one for me. As is said it would be great to have a more experimental device - something to colour the sound - i would like to use it like a effect - not only to listen to it... i need something for my studio .... maybe this is not the right place for me ..hehe .. dunno :D
