Do power tubes matter?

I don’t know what happened with him but I always liked Jon. For whatever reason he was like fuck this place and delete my shit now. Historically we are rough on YouTubers but I don’t ever recall anyone giving him a hard time. Ohhh well…

He comes across like a genuine good guy that loves all things guitar/amp related. Great content too.

I didn't watch the video. Is he using IRs like he always does?

Idk I didn’t watch , I’m not going to . He kind ragged on RT and left because we don’t kiss ass always . He’s nice but too sensitive

Huh. I've always thought of this place as a kinder, more gentle version of most other forums...

Never watch his stuff.
Well, I did once.

When/where did he rag on rt? Genuinely asking.

He certainly has a nice collection of amps

Yeah it was weird.

I sometimes enjoy his content but most anything he dials in is gonna sound the same. Lately he's been using real speakers as opposed to IR's and that helped, at least to me it did. But again, hard to determine anything on video especially when it's produced as he does. I mean he gets good guitar tones but really if you closed your eye's, it's all the same basic tone. That's fine though, it's the tone he likes to dial in.

I think it was back when a handful of geartubers got their feelings hurt by reading the comments.

Agreed. You can say that about a lot of geartubers though. I don't know if that says they naturally dial in the sound they like regardless of the gear or that differences in the amps are just that subtle.

Maybe; and the more likely reason, is once the tone gets processed and squashed by youtube many of the differenced that set amps apart are lost.
