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

Here's a nice alternative: http://presonus.com/bluetubedp.html
Although, you can't go wrong with a TLAudio.
I own a Fatman 1 and am very happy with it; unfortunately, both Fatman 1 and 2 have been discontinued.
Check out the Focusrite Voicemaster Pro, it has tube emulation.
And for a lot less money, you have the Behringer ones (with real tubes in them).

Hope this helps
