Hi,
Just trying to figure out if what I'm thinking about would work. I just picked up a vintage 1972 AIMS Tube AMP, 120W, with a cabinet with 6 10'S. The head has an external speaker out, a 5 ohm out and a Preamp out. Now, I know that the ideal situation for running the SMS Jerry Preamp is to go into a power amp and then out to a speaker box. Trying to determine if there is an effective way to use the Preamp with this amp and still get the benefits of the tone. I plan to build a box and get a Power Amp at sometime in the future, but I would really love to try and use this amp combined with the preamp if possible--I just don't know enough about the higher end of specialized gear like this and would like to figure out if it is doable before buying one. Could I go from the preamp out into the SMS Pre, and then out from the Preamp out to my speaker cabinet? I'm assuming the problem with that would be to have the signal going from the head into the pre, since the speaker cabinet is meant to go out from the head. Obviously my understanding of the inner workings of these things is in its infantile stages. Any help is appreciated,
