that is true. my friend had a Marshall JMP-1 digital pre-amp that went to 11... but it still had 12AX-7 tubes in it.
I was expecting him to wait too. oh well :-)
it's not so much that it's the sound of yesteryear as it is that the tone from vacuum tubes in a guitar amp is uncomparable to anything else.
I can defend this until the day I die. Only guitar players and a few others can appreciate the vacuum tube. Solid state guitar amps, even the more modern modeling amps from Line 6, don't hold a candle to tubes as far as tone is considered.
