That said, I didn't like the JSX either. <br /><br />I now own a Mesa Rect-O-Verb 112 combo. I love that amp and only paid $700 for it. <br /><br />In my experience, tubes do make a difference. That's not to say that all SS amps sound bad, some sound very good. Tubes sound better.<br /><br />Though, I have heard that the Axe-FX is able to emulate tube response almost perfectly. I do believe that modeling will eventually have a very good share of the market against tube amps. Line 6, however, has yet to do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
