OK, for clean channels, some guys think they can't get a sparkling and crisp clean channel sound from a tube amp, being that tubes break up just about any sound. I'm curious, what do you guys think?

it came to me one day while i was trying to figure something out. i was wanting to turn off my distortion pedal AND switch to my clean channel simultaneously, cheaply, and unintrusively. since i had the little 15w amp just laying around not being used, i bought an ABY for $25.No Soul said:For me personaly its just not practical to use 2 amps, though the thought of A/Bing to a seperate SS amp for clean(er) sounds has crossed my mind.
i could never manage to get a good clean sound that was loud enough to match the volume of my dirt channels on my Nomad without alot of breakup (a little is cool). how do you manage that?Drew said:Tube. I'm not a big fan of perfectly pristine clean sounds (think most of Satch's), and I think the SLIGHT amount of grit a good tube amp will adds as it begins to warm up actually adds to the "sparkle."

Drew said:haha, that's pretty funny. It's a decent clean, though, isn't it?
'Course, you could have just done the Tool thing and rolled off your volume to clean up...![]()
