“The guitar is indeed alive and well. The traditional guitar tube amp, though, has faced some strong digital challengers.”
You see the prices of tube amps lately? I asked the gy at the music store why are they so expensive. He said because the sound cannot be duplicated by digital equipment.
I was at the NAMM Show last week. Tubes are where it’s at.
What’s old is new again.
And to think I gave away my Fender Strat and Bassman Amp when I decided I wasn’t going to be the next Clapton back in the 60’s. Sigh...
Had I kept them, I could have sold them now so I could pay for my Health Insurance.
