haha yeah i had a few circumstances like that at ballgames haha walking up to the ticket stand and someone giving me tickets haha but other than that...

Re: Tube vs. Transistor
 

i met the wu-tang clan! RZA signed my CD because it was their debut... he didn't sign anything else for anyone else and he talked to me about the death of ODB



anyway, on topic, i don't know about amps but I have a tube preamp and it sounds nice. i guess you'd call it a warm tone... but i've never had a solid state so i wouldn't know the difference lol

Re: Tube vs. Transistor
 

wow i wish i could meet cool people like this :frown:

Re: Tube vs. Transistor
 

that was my one and only encounter with famous people



well, there was that time i got drunk with the pope :yess:

Re: Tube vs. Transistor
 

haha speaking of the pope real funny thing to do if someone asks you a question where the answer is clearly no tell them does the pope shit in the woods...example...is the grass blue? does the pope shit in the woods!.. haha priceless reactions everytime

Re: Tube vs. Transistor
 

lol that is funny



i might do that with definite yes-es too

Re: Tube vs. Transistor
 

haha yeah that is probably one of my favorite no brainer lines to give back to people with dumb questions haha

Re: Tube vs. Transistor
 

I like both equally, I prefer a mix of both to be honest. I';m investing in a Valvestate soon after some testing sessions at a music store.

Tubes distort best and sound awesome but can be dangerous if anything goes wrong. tubes also need to be maintained often if you wish to get the same tones over and over. Whereas SS amps are more reliable, safer and sound exactly the same everytime you turn them on, but their distortion isn't as nice, they don't clean up anywhere near as well as tubes.

It all depends on the purpose really!

Re: Tube vs. Transistor
 

I've never really had dependability problems with tube amps. My ss ones have been just as problematic.
