    What guitar amplification would you use live? (Metal music)

    Trust me if you want a tube feeling get a tube power amp. LOTS of users do it for that reason. I am definitely not the only one. Matrix power amps totally lacks in dynamics, and don't sparkle, and project quite a flat, trebly representation of the sound. Actually quite similar to solid state...
