So,
in your oppinion,
which are the best guitar amplifiers for pure rock sound?

Tube (valve) or solid-state(transistorised) amplifiers?

Little explanation, please ...

I am not expert here, but friend of mine is very good guitar player and I remembered that had talked about tube amps like more natural than those with transistors.
I guess there must be difference

for those who knows

Tube amplifiers sound more natural while solid state amplifiers sound more synthetic and fake.

Noodle, you are correct that ‘amplifiers sound more natural’. My friend is a good guitar player and he interested in collecting the articles of guitar. I would suggest a little more elaboration on the point on “Benefits and features of guitar”.
