They&rsquo;ve gone an amazing way towards perfectly simulating vacuum tube amplifiers now. But they still suffer from the problem where you have to dial in the settings for a particular thing say, lead on the bridge pickup, that then won&rsquo;t sound great playing rhythm on the neck pickup with the volume rolled back on the guitar. The original 1940s tech does not suffer from this problem. A good, 1960s style tube-amp with a great loudspeaker, and a good guitar with great pickups, and you need to work pretty hard to make it sound less than great. I want to record an old Otis Redding number that really needs me to be able to switch between stuff on the guitar.</p>
