Valve Analog Preamp, tla audio only decent option on budget? Options

[pixelboy]

Hi there
I´m creating dance music basically on my PB G4 with Logic 7, Live and Soft synths.
I´m locking for a decent valve front end that allows me to do preety much the works, guitar, mic, warming up signal to connect to my emi since I feel as tha need for some unstable analog harmonics to be added to my signal.

The thing is that I cant find a decently priced valve preamp, I am thinking of TLA as friends tell me its good, the thing is that most of them have also compresser and eq, and probably I wont be using it (I preffer plug-ins).
So basically I want a good sinal warmer (pardon for the english) that allows me to add that extra something valve thing until overdrive

Any good sugestions?
Thanks

It seems to me if you will use such a gadget for both guitar and mic-vocals.
Then you would definitely need to have a good EQ as well.
Either separately or built in to the preamp.

Reason for this - is that guitar amps - are NOT hifi by
any stretch of the imagination.
Most good/popular valve guitar amplfiers have a very colored sonic quality.
This coloring is INDEED what most guitarist want & prefer. (me included)

To use the valve pre amp for mic vocals you probably want a more natural
sonic quality, maybe tweak it a bit to suit the actual voice you recorded.
