I'm planning to get one but I' can't try one out because there aren't any in Croatia. I red a lot of reviews on Harmony central etc.. but I would like to have an opinion of some real Warwick owners/players. Need insight.
 
I would like to know how much warmth do the two tubes in the pre-amp section give to the sound, and can it be footswiched between solid state and tube.
Could you explain what some of the knobs actually do?
Do you connect the reck tuner via fx loop?

No. The amp cannot be footswitched between tubes and solid-state. The knob config is pretty easy to understand, there's a gain knob for the pre-amp, you have a master level, a countour level, and an EQ. About the warmth of the tubes, I think they sound really good, a lot more natural than a solid-state transistor amp for example. About the tuner, well you could do that, but you don't really need to come back from a tuner so why don't you just plug in into the DI out?
 
The Tubepath has one tuner out so you only need to simply plug the rack tunner into that and you're set.
the amp sounds really great and join the Tubepath with some neo pro cabs and you'll get to heaven eheheh, also you got the 2nd stage switch that will emulate the sound of an all tube head when pushed so the variety of sounds you can get from that little monster is amazing.
 
The only complaint I have about my tubepath 5.1 is the weight (17.7 Kgs) but at least is manageable and a feel rewarded each time I get my bass sounding great in any venue with just it and a w211 Pro...

Great variety of sounds in a somewhat portable package, just need a good rack case for it and ready to Tour the world ;)

Just to reiterate whats been said above. You'll get all you want and more from either of the tubepath amps. Its got bags of tube warmth and all the functions required by anyone.
 
Thanks to everybody. One last thing what about the money's worth?

Contact your dealer, it varies from country to country
 
I meant the ratio between the price and quality. Sorry if i wasn't clear.
 
I buyed from a store in Germany for about 1000€ including shipping, incredible bang for the buck the quality/price ratio is excellent.

In Spain though it costs more (around 300€ more if I remember correctly) and it starts to get a bit unbalanced...

To be honest, this is going to depend on the price your dealer gives you. Now, in my personal opinion, I think it is worth every single penny.
