Title: Will the beepre match with the korneff 45 amp?
Post by: Ivancy1920 on November 01, 2013, 07:23:30 PM

Hi guys,

Im new to the forum.  I'm looking for a suitable and great sounding preamp to match with my korneff 45 amp.  Will this be a good match? Im really hopin. That it will be. 
Also, if ever i get this preamp,  im planning on replacing the volume control with a lightspeed attenuator. Is this a suitable replacement?

Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

There is very, very, very little information online about the Korneff 45 amp.  From what it looks like, these are not overly sensitive (a good thing), and should mate well with the low gain topology of the BeePre.

We considered the LDR option when developing the BeePre, but ended up going with a very high quality stepped attenuator.  This doesn't mean that you can't use an LDR, just be sure that you get enough of them that you can get a tight match.
