I'm currently playing through a THD Uni-Valve head through a THD 2x12 cab.A close friend recommended adding a tube pre-amp to help me to achieve heavier 'chugging' tones for some added push for my tone.Through my search online,my curiosity has been peaked by the Mesa Boogie V-Twin pedal.I'd prefer to shy away from rack mount preamps just for the ease of gig setup.Any info on the V-Twin is much appreciated.

I had a V-twin and I kinda wish I did'nt sell it. It has a great clean channel and if I remeber, it has two OD settings. The one was a nice smooth OD and the other was a bit more agressive. The heavy OD had a deep rumble to it(which my be why it was named the V-twin). I remember I did'nt care for the way the switching was handled. It had two swithces, one was on off and the other toggled between two channels. I forget the setup of which two but I believe they were interchangable on later models. Hope this helped some.

From memory, the VTwin's higher gain settings have a more 'mark series' tone than a 'recto' tone. By that, I mean fatter in the mids.

To be honest, I wasn't very impressed, but then again, I'm not a fan of the later mark series overdrive sound. Too cludgy and undefined.

Thanks for the insight Sounds like I just need to find one and plug and play!
