The preamp of an amplifier is used to “color” the tone. For example, your tone controls (treble, mid, bass) are located in the preamp, as is the reverb. The preamp’s purpose is to shape the sound, then feed it to the power amp. The preamp usually consists of one to nine preamp tubes, depending on the amp.
