Tube vs. Solid State = Charcoal vs. Gas?

[JimmyM]

I'm mostly vegan these days, and I hate to cook with either gas or charcoal. But I do likes me some tube amps!

Burgers ain't BBQ.

Besides, REAL men BBQ with WOOD not charcoal .

Ahhhhh! B-string ups the ante!

Touche, Mr. String! Touche!

It occurred to me tonight after grilling yet another mess of the most perfect burgers ever on my charcoal grill that the tube versus solid state argument is very much like the charcoal versus gas argument. So, in the interest of science, I'd like to know which camp folks fall into.

Beer.

Ditto! Grilling carrots isn't recommended!

Tube = live oak/mesquite/hickory bbq smoker.

SS = charcoal with some wood chips for flavor

Digital modeling = microwave pizza/ramen noodles.


IEM's = cup of rice and some cold water.

Well played.

You can never be a true vegan. So what if you don't eat anything that came from an animal. What happened when the first animal ate a plant? It crapped it out, that got sucked up by some roots, and thus that plants offspring has animal in it.

What's going on??? The following brief video proves once and for all that all-tube amps sound better than SS amps:

Now I have GAS for a Cordoba! What have you done?!

We did a test, charcoal burger vs. gas, charcoal tastes easily noticeably better.

Ha! That's great.

My rig, like my bbq, is perhaps not quite but extremely close to full tubes/straight wood.

Monique pre through SS power. Wood pellet grill. Sounds like tube. Tastes like wood. Feels like tube. Cooks like wood.

Go figure.

This is accurate beyond anything else ever posted on Talkbass




And yeah, charcoal is much better than gas. That shouldn't even be open for debate.

Now I have GAS for a Cordoba! What have you done?!

My poor Cordoba, was beat to death by some gangsters in 1985 in the HS's parkinglot that I rarely attended. We were usually celebrating our freedom with a mixture of tubed and solid state amps while BBQ on Jamies Charcoal Bbq.

How 'bout this? Can't beat a hybrid!!! The taste of charcoal meets the control of gas!!! if you can't make this sound good it's not the grill, it's the cook;-)
This was partly in fun! Hope nobody gets their apron in a wad over that! Lol

Fortunately, the pesticides take care of that.

I'm voting for quality ingredients, the skill of the cook, and how hungry I am.
