If I wanted the effects of a tube amp, I wouldn't buy an effects box or some shit, I'd buy a damn tube amp. But I don't want to, because I do not like tubes. There is no such thing as a perfect amp. Tubes have some things they do better than solid state, and solid state amps can do things better than tubes. Tubes have smoother midrange and a softer roll off up top, but solid state has tigher and more accurate bass, and they are extremely revealing. My co workers all say tubes sound more natural on vocals (they're probably right), but they are all analog-heads and like that sound. I am a full on digitalophile, and I like the cold unforgiving digital sound. If the guy in the studio farts when recording, I wanna hear it.
