A couple of beginner questions

[sburck]

Hello,

I just came back from the Egnater amp building seminar. I learned a lot and honestly I doubt I will ever buy another amp again. I'm curious as to if you can match up pretty much any pre-amp with any power-amp design. Say I wanted a fender bassman style pre-amp with a vox style power section, could I literally just look at the schematics for both sections and run the wire from the master wiper in the preamp into the power section of any tube amp? Or do they have to be somehow matched...?

You can pretty much mix and match. Just be ready to findge some to get the preamp output levels at a level suited to the power amp. SOme power tubes require less drive than others.
