want a better tone
want a better tone
i was thinking of mixing 2 amp tones together or something along the lines of that, but the pod and tube power-amp could work for me.
I did that, it was alright. Had my XT Live going through a Mesa 50/50 and it was pretty decent. Depending on what kind of tube head you get though, you might get really shitty results running it through the power section of the HD147 or slaving it through tubes. try it out, but dont' hold your breath for something amazing to happen

Well i do think that modelling amps are the future and will overtake classic tube amps, but I also think that at the moment it still takes one, two or three generations till the technology is there.
With the recording especially I think modellers are gaining a lot of ground. Like the axe-fx stuff... awesome (probably won't be too long until Line6 tries to copy that).
So why do you think Line6 brought out the Spider Valve? I don't know myself really.
To sell amps to N00bs using that technology instead of spending money on major hardware upgrades like what the Axe-Fx uses. But if you've used a spider valve is sounds very similar to a regular Spider.
..........I love you.........
seriously, it's still has buzzy and fizzy models on it and no one will fuckin believe me. The main difference I've heard was it's just WAY louder
Heres is my take on the whole tube vs solid state. They way the sound can be argued either way. I prefer tube for the feel, I like the way tubes react, the responsiveness of them. Each have there place if tubes were perfect you would not see guys like Satch or Vai using a ds-1 and a their clean channel for some runs.
Edit forgot original ?. Diff cab, sonic maximizer good suggestions. What pickups are you using? Also you would be surprised how much your sound will improve by using good instrument cables.
