Tube Watts to Solid State Watts

[Eminor3rd]

Tube's have the potential to get louder because they do not clip when being pushed. And you get a full sine wave out of tubes rather than a square wave when you push your solid state amp. There are also many other factors.

This is not true at all.

It's already been discussed. It's a combination of musically pleasing clipping, increased higher-order harmonic content and compression.

This is the answer ^

I think there may be some minor confusion about how "clipping" is defined.
