Thanks for the review. Why are rack guitar preamps harder to find than rack effects? I have the rocktron widowmaker preamp, which has more modern sound but not many eq controls. Rocktron is weird in that they still have 19" rack guitar preamps listed on their site, at least produced them recently. I think due to the hush they were the noise gate company when 19" was happening and therefor stick to the format. But they seem to have bad marketing, there is hardly any information on their lines, but can be picked up cheap sometimes. Since I feel their reaction series was a reaction to digitechs hardwire I want to test one of those. The spectrum test is very cool.
Per Sammy Duet, this is the amp that Acid Bath was using in the early days. They switched to Metal Zone pedals due to reliability issues.
4:57 - Metal Zone curve.

Very useful. I still have my Rocktron Voodu Valve. What software are using for your spectrum analyzer? Looking for something just like that! Thanks!

I have it and i like it's flexibility
One of the best (if not the best) Rocktron preamp, imho way better than the Gap series and the Widowmaker. Btw, the exciter is on/off switchable.
