I tried looking but was unable to really get a grasp.
If one has a high quality preamp with good EQ and feedback killing tools, like the LR Baggs Venue, does the investment sort of save money in another place, when buying an amp? Effects and loops, several channels etc. are another thing, but are there other things one could do well to avoid, in order to buy a simpler, sonically higher quality amp with the same money, as opposed to an amp with more properties? Any examples?
I mean, it has to be a combo amp anyway, right? And possibly doesn't have to have massive EQ-capabilities, right? Anything else? Something power-related?
To put it another way, what benefits are there in plugging an uke though such a preamp into an acoustic preamp that would welcome high-impedance signals too? Of course, to have EQ beneath your feet (or the tuner or the boost of the LR), but ignoring that. Being able to use a longer cable (preamp -> amp)? To have a close approximation of how your uke needs to be EQ'd with any acoustic amplifier you come across?
I suppose the issue is different with (electric guitar,) bass and keyboard amps (that some people like, at least as a secondary choice), since they're not meant for high-impedance outputs, and couldn't be used without the preamp very succesfully anyway?
