So putting aside the fact that there are still a number of true all analog FX pedals. It does not matter if it is "Pure analog" or not, it is still a different sound coming out of the speaker through a tube amp than a solid state (better or not, is totally subjective ) but it is different. Because: Even with a digital pedal in front of, or in the loop of a tube amp, the sound/tone is inclusive and is a hybrid amalgam of tonality, with its own color, and has not simply become " digital anyway" if that is your implication ?

I haven't tried the Mustang, but I can say with the Katana it took me a lot longer than a couple of days.
I ended up downloading a lot of software developed by others and picking up a number of other people's patch files and then finding the bits i wanted to alter (like the parametric eq) |

I think that is possibly a mistake on their part. It's amazing what the community has been able to put together for the Katana and it hasn't cost Rolland that much for the people to develop it all.

There is WAY more to it than just tubes vs transistors when comparing the sound of tube vs solid-state amps. The circuitry between them is different. Tubes can clip just as harshly as transistors. In both cases other factors come into play that color the sound. It could well be the color provided by those other things (such as transformers, underpowered power supplies causing SAG, design of the tone control circuitry, choice of speakers, cabinet design, etc.) that many people like. It's probably better to consider each amp as a complete system when comparing them, not simply as tubes vs transistors.
We all tend to hear different things that we like or dislike, so it's really just personal preference. There is no one size fits all "BEST", only what's best for you in your particular application. Last edited by srbell; 12-16-2019 at 01:48 PM. |

What makes a tube amp better?

As far as which is better or whatever. I have a tube amp. I like it a lot and it's got a certain vibe to it that's great. But, it can basically only do one basic kind of sound signature. Playing through a computer with Positive Grid or playing through a THR 10c (also just got a 30ii), you get many, many, different types of sound signatures that sound really, really good nowadays. It's not so cut and dry now. It was 10 to 15 years ago... solid state sounded horrible. But nowadays, with the digital technology and profilers, it is very close. I was just actually thinking of taking a looper and running the same sound through a tube amp and a modeling amp and see who can tell which is which. I might do that soon.
