Hi all,
I'm a bit swamped and confused on the use over a preamp, and ultimately if I need one.
I'm looking to upgrade my signal and to play without a cab occasionally. I don't really need a real booster (I get the volume I need)/overdrive as I already have these in my chain. Is there anything to recommend something under 120€ that would just fit my needs (preamps tend to be on the expensive side it seems).
For reference: I play on a supro dual tone and a fender telecaster.
Thank you in advance.
PS: I have done some research and thought the mxr micro amp is the kind of pedal I'm looking for. However I have no idea what I'm talking about as this is really new to me.

Hi,
If you intend to play without an amp/cab, the microamp is not your fit, that one is actually a booster of sort..
What you need could be one of the mooer micro preamp series, which has a modeler of a famous preamp with a built-in speaker emulator.
If you need further clarification just ask :) there is also a ton of resources on this topic online

Thank for your reply!
I have seen Mooer in several lists. It's just not always clear to me if it's an actual preamp (I want the Line-Signal) or just a booster. Furthermore they have a lot of choice so I have no clue what would be a good fit...

It is an actual preamp, so no problem with the line level.. about the choice i understand, what amp do you use usually?

Supro dual tone. It's a 25w combo

I think there is a model that reproduces some supro tone, look into mooer’s catalog! :)
