Hey, I find my Sold State sounds a tiny bit warmer than my Tube. Don't get me wrong, I would never play Solid while there is a Tube around, but it makes a better Jazz tone sometimes... Is that weird? |

Generalizations about hollow-state versus solid-state guitar amplifiers are almost never formed through rational thinking and are basically useless.
The amount of variables not controlled for is absolutely staggering. |

I have to relent and say that while I can still hear a little of that in say, Tal Farlow's early stuff, it does not sound nearly as pervasive now as it did then.
I did not think this one through.
Like one of the forum member's stated, I was deluded. Now its got me rethinking some of the other opinions I held as fact.
Take Care. | Ah well, you've still started an interesting thread about tone and the relative merits of SS and tube amps - I've always been an SS guy (love my Polytone and Yamaha G50), especially for clean jazz tones, but I do appreciate the tube amp thing - I guess most of the classic jazz guitar albums were tube amps which probably says something. |

Yeah, it says "solid state amps weren't invented yet."  |

Not many humbuckers used before 1957, either. |

Maybe it was the microphone that added said scruffiness?
Come here Scruffy, come here Scruffy, good boy...
