Re: Looking for a small rack preamp (Roland Gp100?)

I'll add the Voodoo Lab Guiter Preamp (www.voodoolab.com) to that list. 
I'm hopefully picking one up in a couple of weeks so I'll report back.

I owned a Rocktron VooDu Valve for a while.  Loved the flange effect, but
the preamp section sounded a little thin and brittle.  The old Digitech
GSP series (2101 - 2120) preamps sound better IMO.
