1. If your Preamp is the Blue Tube II it is very
good especially if it has the steel guitar mod.
2. The Lexicon is excellent.\
3. I believe a Stewart World 1.2 is one of the
best power amps you can find.
Hope this helps.

Ken,

Maybe some of the stuff on my rack page will help. There is a list of equipment, lots of detailed pics and a wiring diagram:

I had a Blue Tube II preamp. It has an effects loop in it that will work for either instrument or line level units. The Lexicon is a line level unit.

With the Lexicon in the effects loop, just connect the two outputs (left and right) of the preamp to the inputs of the power amp.

I have a PDF file copy of the 9002 preamp users manual. If you want a copy, e-mail me.

Thanks for the advice.I ran the lexicon through the effects loop and it sounds great.I think I had too much power going into the effects unit.

I picked up a peavey classic 50 for my tele today.I tried it with my williams and it sounded pretty good.

Was $350.00 to much?
