"Solid-state to me is more in your face, while tube sounds like it’s surrounding your body, I’m not going for a soft sound. I ain’t lookin’ for a warm sound. My sound is warm, but I don’t need tubes to do it. The Randall RG-100 is the best amp for what I do. To this day, when people find out that I use solid-state they’ll come up to me and go, ‘Are you sure? That sounds like tubes, dude…’ The Randall has the warmth of tubes, but it has the chunk and the fuckin’ grind right in your face!”
This modeler needs whey more solid state-based amps in it that's for sure.
The Jmp-1 model sounds a bit solid-state-ish. So does the PRS Archon. Although tubes are involved in both.
But I don't understand why people thing tubes necessary when they are not and I don't understand why Fractal is so gung-ho about tubes only. They are so overrated. They do absolutely nothin special at all. Look at all the tones Dime was able to get with solid state. Although he was just too scooped. That's the only part of his tone I wasn't into but it was still a very unique tone and it was warm and articulate.
