Thank you for writing such a great article. I’ve been around guitar amps since the 70s and playing them more seriously starting in the 80s. I currently own multiple tube and solid state amps as well as the FM3 Fractal Audio and the Friedman IR-X. You definitely make many great points. The best was on your current podcast the G3 episode where you discuss with Joe Satriani the point of what the artist is creating is what matters most. I’m a true believer. I’ve been working in music retail for 19 years now and I’ve seen a lot of gear. I really love seeing the evolution of amps. I have shared this great article with the owner the management, staff and purchasing of our mom n pop music store in Honolulu. As some of them head off to NAMM this article is great food for thought.
All the best and keep up the great writing and generating one of the best music podcasts out there.
