My Trading Feedback | You Bring The Band
Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youA good SS amp will sound good.
A good modelling amp will sound good.
A bad valve amp will sound bad.

You should buy what you think sounds best, regards of what its innards consist of.
Here endeth the lesson. There you go, saved you 30mins of your day by not watching that video.
I know you will all think I am biased but..that mixer was clipping. I have stood in front of both those amps (or variations of them) during the analogue/digital A/B testing and they sounded WAY better than that. They should also have been several dBs louder than the dialogue.
Yes, of course, pretty boring if you already know it.

I’m also surprised that either party was prepared to Go There on the valve/hybrid thing after HTgate. Not that the points being made on the use of solid-state components aren’t entirely valid, but the original furore got so hyperbolic and vituperative that you wouldn’t think they’d want to remind people or run the risk of it blowing up again... :-)
What I picked up was the people who run down Blackstar for having solid state stuff going on in a valve amp that others don't is much akin to having a load of solid state OD/distortion pedals in front of a.valve amp.
I'm not sure I can really tell the difference any way. Compression, clipping and OD all have a bearing and few users and most listeners probably care.
