After playing out with tube amps ranging from 80's Marshalls to 60's Fenders to 90's Riveras I have been happily gigging with a mosfet Randall RG100 combo for over a year. I play country and need loud and clean for indoor and outdoor stages and the Randall delivers the goods. My overdrive gives me dirt when I need it, and the amp is ridiculously loud. I know it's not a cool amp to have in boutique circles, but who cares? I make a living with it, and I still have a stock 66 Super Reverb for tracking. I started gigging in the early 80's and, due to budgets, had primarily ss gear for years. After being off of it for so long, I find I enjoy the tightness and loudness of the ss thing. Most guys are worried about distortion but my thing is clean tones so ss amps work for me. Maybe if chicks at the gigs start asking if I am playing tubes, I will start to care, but for now all is good. My two cents...
