Jeff,
Steve is right on the money. I use a Chandler rackmount Tube Drive,or, for solid state, I use a TS9 that doesn't sound too bad. The Chandler sounds better (and I use the Chandler stereo delay), but is more work carrying around. My HD 130 is waaaaaay too loud to run with the master on 10 and trying to overdrive the outputs. That is the drawback of the Hd 130. Before you get to the desired overdrive the amp gets too loud. Still a fairly good old amp. Another thing I do is run out of my pre out on my Blues DeVille into one channel of the Musicman; but the volume of the DeVille controls the volume of the Musicman, so you have to fool around with it to get things balanced. Sounds kinda cool, though, espically when you put some outboard gear between the pre out of the DeVille and the input of the Musicman.
