Theres something quite nice about tubes, given WWIII is on the horizon it will be nice to still have an amp that works after the EMP blasts from the nuclear weapons.

Does anyone really care about the sound of their guitar, once the drummer kicks in?

Only bedroom musicians care about valves.... and then all they do is complain they're too loud and try and find 'devices' to add on that makes them less loud but they could have just gone digital in the first place, because any of that warmth and depth and feel has been killed because you've reduced the volume and you've put it into something digital or solid state.

YMMV ;)
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

So true.

Unrelated question, but does anyone have a Fryette PS2 and 80sqm of sound proofing?

Can we stop arguing about whether valve or digital is better and just go back to hating Stratocasters.

And valve amps are like actual women? Which explains why this place is such a sausagefest.

Just as satisfying as the real thing, but a lot cheaper?
