Re: Concrete Tornado
Actually the solid state amplifiers are superior (except for EMP resistance). The trouble with the solid state amplifiers is that they are nearly perfect until they are overloaded by a peak and then they just cleanly truncate the peak. Tube amplifiers, on the other hand, round off the corners of an overloaded peak making the tube amplifiers sound better. You need a lot of head room in a solid state amplifier to avoid this problem. Or you could use a circuit that rounds off the corners.
