Solid State. Love it? Hate it?

I do see them everywhere for cheap. Should get one. I recently loaned my Katana to a friend (and TBH after the initial positive impressions it turned out to be pretty bland sounding) and I went and got a little Orange Micro Dark thinking it would be OK for headphones and low volume through a 1x12, but it sounds horrible through headphones and the master volume is really touchy down low and does a strange thin buzz thing. Honestly, my Mesa tube amps sound much better at low volume.
 
Wade--- as I read through the whole 2 pages here.......yes some frivolity exists--- but the lads must have their fun--- many use this forum as respite from the seriousness and BLEEPBLEEPBLEEPBLEEP of all our meager existences.

The take away from this thread appears to be that many here own both styles and like both. The waters of the AMP canal have become so muddied....with SS modeling amps--- SS/tube hybrids....modeling tubes.....fake tubes (glowing SS amps with little lights in them) ---- its very hard to find anyone that is rigid in their preference....

I have SS amps--- and i LOVE them --- if I had to ONLY OWN ONE AMP--- hands down it would be solid state ---- simple reliable and CHEAPER---

SO ---solid state??? Love em. ;)



I AGREE!
