Why I Prefer Hybrid Amps Over Tube Amps

Why I Prefer Hybrid Amps Over Tube Amps

I talk about the benefits of using hybrid and solid state amps over using a tube amp. I am a fan of all 3 types of amplifiers, I just use each for different situations. I find hybrid and solid state amps to be the absolute most reliable and low maintenance amps on the market that make them a joy to play with when gigging or playing daily. Tube amps are less reliable and high maintenance but pack the absolute best sounds you can get out of a guitar when cranked, I find recording with these as well as with digital amps to work wonders when writing.

Kinda dope, you search hybrid amps and this is the first result

I wish we had physical Guitar Libraries where we could play plenty of amps and pedals to chase our sound. Not tone and brand per se as you said but a more individual thing.

"One of the areas that guys put too much emphasis on is
equipment. Once when Van Halen was on tour, we were opening
for Ted Nugent and he was standing there watching me
play, wondering how I did it. The next day at the sound check when
I wasn’t there, he asked our roadie if he could plug into my
stuff. Of course, it still sounded like Ted. In other words, it
doesn’t really matter what you’re playing through. Too many guys
think a player’s sound has to do with equipment, but it doesn’t
make any difference. Your sound is in your fingers, heart and mind."

tube front with ss power section is a nice option agreed but.. At this time full tube guitar amps have strong sales with many boutique models as well as low dollar imports offering high end great sound along with budget great sound from some models. Stereo tube amps have strong sales as well especially with low price imports.
