yah know, most folks can't hear the difference between a tube or solid state amp. We as musicians hear it and think to ourselves how much better we play driving tubes than burning transistors. We know it, but the audience typically doesn't. If I have more energy on stage because I set up light equipment, the audience enjoys it more than me hunched over in pain playing cool tubes.

I'm glad you got a Line 6. They do the job. I have a nice decent sound for half the weight.
