Hey guys,

First time post here. I build guitar pedals and I'm really wanting to build a SS amp mainly for home practice and possibly gig use where low volume is required. I'm thinking somewhere between 8w-30w depending on what is easiest and most practical, as this is very new to me.

My main amp is a 5E3 Tweed Deluxe so I'm interested in putting together a solid state design that somewhat resembles that tweed tone. I came across the Run Off Groove Azabache and it seems to capture the tweed and blackface Fender tones quite nicely.

My question is, would I be able to simply use the ROG Azabache as the preamp and connect it to a power amp and house it all in a cabinet? I feel like I'm missing something, because I do not fully understand the workings of an amplifier as a whole. I've modded my tweed deluxe a bit, but just simple mods that did not require much amplifier knowledge.

I would greatly appreciate any help and advice as I continue to read this forum and learn more! Thanks!

EDIT:
Also, if this is possible, what type of power amp would you recommend?
