Tube amps are one of those things that don't really make sense. They're a bunch of unreliable 75 year old technology in a big wooden box, and we have countless "better" options on the market today, whether that's solid state amps or amp modelers. But tube amps will always have a place in my sound and I don't think I'll ever stop playing them. There's something different, more organic feeling about tube amps that you can't really get anywhere else. In today's video, we're going over some of the basics of tube amps, and what I wish I knew before buying my first amp over 10 years ago.
