I have used it with the Fearn, but also with a Pendulum, and a couple of cheap channel strips as well.

I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work on any preamp- clean or not clean.

The principle of re-preamping is just getting that line level back down to mic level so you can run it around into the front of the box again. That is just electronics. The color of the first preamp and the color of the 2nd preamp is just "taste".

(Though obviously repreamping a dirty pre through a clean one will not "subtract" color. As a practical matter, for maximum flexibility, you should probably stick to using the clean preamp first, and saving the colored preamp for the "re". )

Anyway, cleanness is in the ear of the beholder. (The belistener?)
