Tube vs. Solid State?
Added 2025-05-08 23:44:22 +0000 UTCBeen doing a lot of back and forth while working on my Brothers AM/AnalogMan King of Tone video. Honestly guys - I am choosing the Quilter most days. This amp sounds better with OD pedals than my $3k tube amps... in this clip I am using the Barber Five Watt World BUSS on the Dumble setting. Check it out.
My dad was an engineer in defense systems, and actually had a patent on the stealth bomber. He was a guitarist, and always told me that 'solid state could eventually sound just as good' - I think we are there!

+1 for the Henriksen. I've had my Bud Six for six years and the thought of selling it has never crossed my mind. The Bud Six's small size is deceptive: it is loud AF and easily fills a room. It is no wonder that it is a favorite among jazz players.
