I assumed that since all that great stuff seemed to have been played
through Marshalls and Hiwatts and such, that a tube guitar amp was
desirable.
If the consensus is a solid state keyboard type of amp (a Roland,
maybe?), then I get a lot more for my dollar and really don't have to
spend as much.
Thanks Norm, Bernie, Lee, and David - any more opinions out there?
I'd love to hear from all sides on this.
inquiringly,
