Where tubes amps shine is when you can open them up and let them breathe a little, which is louder than you'd want to play with anyone else home (or at all if you live in an apartment). They also provide juicy, complex tones when overdriven (solid state amps don't have preamp tubes to overdrive) If you're mostly a clean player and/or want to record, then your present amp is great. Enjoy the new world of electrics!

If you get a tube soaker, you can open a amp up and then use it to turn down the volume so you get the soaked sound at a normal listening level.
