This guy is a bit too biased I feel, a bit like his tube amps probably…..
The tube/valve Vs solid state has been going on for since the transistor was first used in guitar amps…..
I’ve had both and yes valves are my preference but I have had SS amps that were pretty good…..
I used a late 70’s Roland JC 120 for a while….magnificent clean rhythm amp….one of the best….
MusicMan HD130EVM…..heavy beast and actually a hybrid….tranny preamp and valve output…..traded a Fender Twin with JBLs,….MM was in a different league ……
Pearce….rare now and forgotten….had one and it sounded very good…
Worst SS amp was the Roland Blues Cube Artist from a couple of years ago …..sounded really good at home and lost the plot on stage….
Best amp I have ever used…..got to be my 1964 Vox AC30 Supertwin….had the power, tone and delivery….never failed to deliver the goods…
Unfortunately I sold it in 1968!!!!!
and bought a Gibson Mercury Medallist piggy back….
After seeing the Everly Bros and their backing trio were using them….
GAS for the trapezium shape…..I think that’s right or was it a Rhombus

I wanted to get a Blues cube Artist thought they sound great , ended up getting a Katana which I used mostly for its versatility, I have a couple of AC30s and a Fender Bassbreaker 15 which is a nice amp but it’s one channel with three modes clean crunch and high gain a set and forget amp I believe with their design they are a nightmare to service. I wouldn’t mind a Blackstar HT 20 or Artist 15

Paul 🎸😊🎸😊🎸 When I started again c2004 I bought a very secondhand Peavey Audition 30. Very loud at home but when I took it to Hankies that first time - - where did all the volume go??! Feeble! Even my Vox VT60, a hybrid, isn't as loud as an genuine AC30. Must be dynamics or summat. Ian |

I've still got my HH VS Musician with reverb, head, that I bought at the dawn of time. It's a one time industry standard that I just can't seem to be able to let it go.........It must be the way the front panel all lights up in green.
Cheers

Hi Mick
You're not trying to kid us that this is the environmental friendly version are you? LOL
