I was beside myself when my counselor suggested this as therapy... :lol: :o :shock: I was shocked to learn that this inappropriate material existed on the internet as well... If you are parent, be sure to block this site and protect your children! :lol:

Holy Crap!!! How can you do that to us!!! You're just showing us that the crack on the other side of the street is pathetic compared to the stuff we're getting here. I can't believe that site EVEN exists..(to each his own, of course....)

FWIW, I have read that those amp modeling guys(only the ones that actually have ears) think that they are about 10 years away from actually reproducing the tone that a tube possesses. If they actually do it?(doubt it) Cool. I'll buy one, but I'll still be sniffing solder on a REAL one......Those filaments sure are pretty.... :)

Gutpile, you are a sick, perverted, funny bastard. :lol: LMAO!! But it still kinda hurt...

I've wondered this too. It would be great having a 1000 amp models that sound better than the real thing, and it might happen some day. If it does, I will buy that amp modeler, but for the time being, I'll stick with tube amps, because all the digital stuff I've played sounds like a bag of cat in a woodchipper.
If I ever think I want to get married, I'll find a woman I don't like and buy her a house.

Wow, I also can't believe that this site has any visitors.

Just out of curiosity, has there ever been even 1 solid state amp that is known as a "classic"? I don't know of any.

Yes. The Roland JazzChorus. SS amps are a staple in Jazz and somewhat in blues with some heavyweights using them. Thats about all thta I know of.
