____ ARE TUBE AMPS DYING ???

    NEWS OF MY DEMISE HAS BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED

 

If you strum a chord into a looper than turn the looper 

on and let it repeat over and over forever through a modeler the chord will play the 100% accurate same sound every time to infinity. If you then play that looper through a tube amp it will not repeat that first sound 

until it is repeated about 1.3 million times. FACT! 

The term a tube that burnt out is an apt description. A tube is like a candle's flame constantly burning and we can all see that it never stays the same shape for a moment. A tube creates an audio experience but like the candle its shape too is never the same. 

A modeled sound is like a photograph of the Mona Lisa. 

It will always be second rate compared to the painting.
