Understanding Tube Amps: Why Tube Amps?

Categories: Understanding Tube Amps

The first video in a series of gear lessons I’ll be doing called “Understanding Tube Amps.”  In this first installment, I do my best to explain why tube amps are considered by most to be better than solid state (transistor) amps.

    Thanks for your free lessons.
    You’re so far ahead of me with your lessons…
    I’m an amature with such little hope of catching up.
    I like that white, western, Jimi Hendrix sound.
    Why you play your brothers’ guitar, instead of a real Strat?

    What about hybrid amps? How do they compare with traditional tube amps & the performance of a solid state amp?
