I have yet to see a TUBE POWER AMP for Pro Audio. Every amp I saw to date is solid state. I realise that Tubes have a life span and the possible hassle of changing it in the middle of a SHOW is real....but other than that.. I wonder...why is there no TUBE POWER AMP for FOH? Look for a Mackintosh. The Grateful Dead used them...lots of them! VERY heavy, though, which may be why nobody uses them muchAlmost exclusively solid state models as well.What is it with folks who make these comments, yet have no idea what they are talking about?

Back in the day I used to use a bunch of rackmount green Altec tube amps ... 60 watts but was very happy to dump them when more reliable solid state amps became available.

Members soulx Posted August 14, 2013 Members Share Posted August 14, 2013 Getting your panties in a twist is a bummer. Trust me. Ugh, They're really tough to untwist, uncomfortable, and they may even knot at the wrong moment.Ugh. Unknotting panties. Don't even get me started when that happens.
