If you're going to go down the Hotplate route, check out the Univalve amp/preamp. http://thdelectronics.com/ Swap the tubes around for different tones - try a 6v6 or a 6l6 from some Fender vibes or maybe el34, 6550, kt66 or kt88 for some "British" tones. This an amazingly flexable amp/preamp. Hot Plate alows you to crank the amp to push the power tues while keeping the volume down. Line out to the board for recording or to a power amp. Automatic speaker load when it's not connected for quiet recording. I love it - I've used it for all my East Coast shows this year and recording.
