Fellas, what are your reasons for still using tube amps in this day and age, rather than going digital?
Personally, I still can't decide between either. I think tube amps are still GOAT when it comes to tone and feel, but they sound their best when cranked to the max, are heavy, delicate etc. Plus you need to place your mics right, it will be fickle and sound good certain days, less so other days etc.
Axe-Fx, though, I've heard replicate to like 99% of the way there without any hassles of a physical tube amp. Just consistently works every day and delivers bang on tones. Plus the amount of tweakability and features dwarf the tube amp by a country mile.
Like, let's say you're playing a particular head but you want to play it through Mesa cabs. You can switch at the touch of a button with digital. The amount of control you've got over your signal chain is amazing.

He wouldn't be posting if he's not interested in playing so there's no point wasting time debating digital vs. tube, etc. Buy a guitar + audio interface and use that free NAM amp sim stuff J.L.C was talking about a few pages back. Really no excuse not to go that route and there's no substitute for playing. I took a long break once when other stuff in life like work, training, etc. took precedence. Dusted off my old gear and it took about 6 months to get close to the level was at before + build up the calluses again. I'm as guilty as anyone of often wanking off with the same licks I can play in my sleep vs. putting in decent practice and learning songs however playing the same stuff is still better than not playing at all.

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

Sure. Plop a guitar in my hands right now and I'd be able to strum a few chords and play a few pentatonic licks. Come back in a few weeks and I'd be starting to shred. Come back in 6 months and I might even be able to sweep pick and play some difficult stuff.
Back off, Warchild.
Seriously.

It was almost removed the game, thank God it wasn't. What a ripper song.

He’s a fraud. I’m going to be more cordial but I’m still going to be responding to his bullchit. He tries to muck up the misc with his constant lying, you see the content he makes.

I bought a Spark Mini and an inexpensive wireless set (Joyo).
That couple hundred bucks was well worth it!
