Sweet score man
What has two thumbs and is jealous of you?
i think there's more bull crap with tube heads, u'll have a better sound, but i don't know about "no more bull crap" the bull crap may just be starting for you my friend, welcome to the wonderful world of bad tubes, microphonics, biasing, and....well, BULL CRAP!!!
not to discourage you, it's a sweet amp, definately swap out the cab though. i just think your thread title is a bit off...SS is the most convenient and simple type of amplification, tubes require much more attention, tweaking, and maitanence. good luck my friend!!!
ps.....boost that bitch!!!
Ibanez TS-9 would work well with it. Works well with my Peavey. Congrats on the tubes man!ps.....boost that bitch!!!
I got my TS-9 for $60 in box new off my friend. They're waaay more then worth it. I have a solid state and it gives it a damn nice boost. I can only imagine how it will sound on an actual tube amp that's a beast to begin with. I must note the TS-9 ( depending how you set it) in general when engaged adds quite a bit of hum/ buzz so you'll definitely need an ISP Decimator to get rid of that.Yeh waiting for a TS to come up on CL, I've got a Boss DS-1 somewhere that I'm curious to try with it, just for giggles.
I'm prepared to deal with tube bull crap, if it means I get tone like this. It's like having a hot girlfriend that always wants new shoes.
I have tasted tube today.
I guess I set myself up pretty good there.

EDIT:
Tone > Convenience
shogunate said:... Tube amps, just treat em like light bulbs. Don't break em, don't get wet, replace em once in awhile. Really isn't that hard
Edit: Wow, sorry OP Happy NAD!!!!
