Solid State Or Tube amplifier?
Solid State
The transistors in a solid state amp deliver high volume with a fast
transition from clean to distorted (turning up the Drive), adding odd
harmonics to the bass signal. If you are looking for high power and a
pure, bright sound, switching to Solid State will probably serve your
needs perfectly.
Tube
Tube amps are famous for their warm and refined amplification. Turn
up the Drive and the amount of distortion rises gradually. If you want a
warm and smooth crunched sound, switching to Tube is your choice.
Musicians have argued forever about which is the better amplifier –
some people like coffee and others prefer tea.
Drive
The Drive knob controls the gain of the preamp. Turning it to the right
means your signal will get louder but will also start to distort. As men-
tioned above the Drive knob’s behavior depends on which amp model
you use - Tube or Solid State.
