Let me know where you stand on thisā¦<br>Are you still riding with tube ampsā¦ or have you made the jump to digital?<br>Iāve lived on both sides of this thing.<br>There is NOTHING like standing in front of a cranked Fender Twin Reverbā¦ feeling that air moveā¦ that sound pushing back at you.<br>But Iāll be honestā¦<br>Some of these modern rigs like the Line 6 Helix Stadium XL are making life a whole lot easierā¦ and sounding scary good doing it.<br>So what matters more to you right now?<br>š Tone<br>š Feel<br>š Convenience<br>š Or just getting through the gig without breaking your back š <br>Drop it in the commentsā¦ I read everything.<br>ā Bad Brad šø

A Twin Reverb even at low volume sounds awesome. I can play that amp at bedroom volume and it makes me smile!

I have owned over 200 amps in my lifetime and there is nothing better than a good tube amp. The feel and tone "outweighs" the weight...... Updated tube amps have built in attenuators now to tailor your volume for the venue.

A 4 wheel moving flat dolly with big air tires works like a charm for moving an amp

You are so right about amps sitting flat on the floor for better low end.
