Well, the amp for YOU (whoever you might be) is the one that sounds good to YOUR ears. Nothing else really matters.
Agreed.
IMO... Tone is subjective.
What constitutes "Great Tone" by the masses often revolves around a band's vibe, specific song, musician's technique or their unique use of the equipment involved in the process.
Example: A Great tone that comes from technique.. at my age (I'm 49) I don't really get excited about a new major label artist. Yes, I listen to new artist (Love Rival Sons!.. not really new are they though... ) What guys like me tend to really dig is other musicians working hard. I admire this guy (about 10 yrs older... plays a lot of classic rock and 60's Motown... plays though a Peavy Classic 30 combo. He delivers a great performance every night... plays with taste & never over plays etc... Sounds incredible, Uses a Strat... Great tone! Peavy Classic 30 combo isn't what many would call a premium amp... But...through his hands one would never know it! So... SS, Tube etc etc.... it's what sounds good to you.. and how you're inspired to use it...
It's all good in the end.
