RE: arsclist Tubes will not die

Tube guitar amps always sound better then Solid state amps. MANY
companies have tried to make solid state guitar amps and every one has
been terrible. I am afraid that tubes still rein king for guitar amps.

Well I might be green when it comes to what you guys are talking about
but
the fact is is that my cheap crappy tube guitar amp sounds a lot better
than
the cheap crappy solid state amp I used to have.  IT always cut through
a
lot better at gigs.

But I guess you're right!
