lmao-check out a Peavey Musician 400 Series B , it comes reall close to tube sound(real close).

Ok,, is this similar or same as to the Nashville 400 amp?
I noticed the schematic of that under "Steel amps post".

That Nash 400 is not that much different than the Bandit models,,,
[a higher wattage of course.]
At a glance nothing stands out to me but I may have missed something as I'm not the expert that others are.

A Schematic would be good though?

If it's anything like the bandits with all that "Defined output impeadence" stuff then they where nothing special? That "Saturation" thing was a bit of a joke.

I have a friend who has two of those 112 Bandits and he would gladly swap his two bandits for my ReAmp setup anyday

Re the subject question,

I have had great success with ""SState pre, into 10watt tube PP power stage driving a resistive load and ReAmplified via a SState power section"". [I call it the "ReAmp system" for short.]
I got the basic idea from the Guytron GT100 and thought it could work just as well with SState output.

As I had exhausted most of the other ways to attain good sound with all SState and this idea was modular and the Tube section is not expensive to make.
I would love to see/hear an all SState amp that does the tricks but until then my hybrid works fine.

But I,m always on the lookout for new ideas.
I did try the Valtronices gear but it was a sad excuse for guitar tone ,, [IMHO]
even some of my own SState Amp build attempts where better than those.

Anyway this is my first post so thankyou Teemu for the book, , a good read.

Cheers all, Phil Nambour Australia.
