High Gain?


I've read in more than one thread that the First Watt SIT-3 should be used with a high-gain preamp. I'm wondering what the number is that determines whether a preamp's line section is considered to be high gain or not?

You know it will probably work with most.  This advice is probably to get you to avoid using passive preamps.

Almost all active preamps, in my mind, have too much gain, so they'll drive a FW just fine. Just avoid anything fussy or sold as low-gain.
