why solid state amps suck

The problem with living in a border state. This is NOT legal US tender. Candy machines won't even take them. I mean come on, who puts a beaver on a nickel? It should at least be on a $100 bill. Probably with a moose.

My 3210’s don’t suck

That's a solid gold Canadian Beaver Nickle, worth approximately $750.00.
(In Canada a Beaver Nickle is lunch money).

They work very well, IMHO

but didnt it suck?

Don't know. Didn't watch it. I already knew solid state amps sucked. I want a liquid state amp, or a gaseous state amp.

Once you set aside the romanticism of the JCM800 2204...



You find the Line 6 is far more versatile in a studio for hire work environment...FWIW

Well, I’ve never felt “romantic” about any amp, so…

No.

My Fender Stage Lead II sucked.

The sound quality of SS amps is pretty much subject to the same situation as tube amps.

Some sound great; some don’t.

Just because an amp has tubes doesn’t mean it will sound good and just because an amp uses transistors doesn’t mean it will sound bad.

The overall circuitry and design plays a huge role…not just the amplification mechanism.

My Buddy Angelo used to play this amp and had the big folded 18 inch cab and of course I fell in love with his sound especially with his Music Man Bass.

I have 5 amps. Two of them are tube amps. As far as I know, none of them suck.
