Is a rack mounted preamp the same as a guitar amp head?
I was wondering if I bought a rack mountable preamp. Would it work the same as an amp head. Like could i plug the guitar into it the same i would a regular amp head and have it power a 4x12 cabinet?
No - you cannot connect speakers to a preamp. A preamp only amplifies the guitar signal up to "line level" which is a level similar to what comes out of a cd player.
An amp head actually has a preamp and a power amp. The power amp amplifies the signal up to "speaker level" which is high enough to handle speakers.
You can get the preamp if you feel you need it. The preamp output would then connect to the head input. The simplest set up would be to just get a head.
