Things I've learned about amps:
1. Life's too short to play through crap.
2. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
3. One man's meat is another man's pudding.
4. A great player sounds good through anything.
5. A mediocre player sounds mediocre through anything.
6. Tubes are good, but some are better than others.
7. Tone is in the hands. But a good amp sure helps.
8. It's all about the joy of playing. Find the joy, you'll find the tone.
9. Got a sound in your head? Play it with heart, and it'll come out of your hands. Hear it? Play it. The only thing stopping you is you.
10. It's all about the music. The rest is GAS.
