tube amplifiers
CanadianGuitar asked:


Let the fight begin! Im definately a tube purist haha. I just dont think solid states “respond” to the little nuances of your playing as well. They dont have the natural midrange either, and the distortion SS amps have is through transistors. The distortion of tubes is just soo sweet its hard to describe.
:D I have a PRS running into a marshall jcm2000 halfstack running through 1960A cab with celestions. all tube tone.

dump ATT !! phone service/8.95$ month better than Magic! & keep your old phone number/8.95$/ month

Tube man too. I just think it’s a “warmer” sound.

Tube for sure.

I have an old Fender Pro Reverb and love it… hiss and all.
The analogue sound from tubes contains many harmonics and frequencies the digitals just can’t match.
