In this episode Daniel and Mick attempt to test their preconceptions of transistor amps. It’s no secret that they both love valve amps and really don’t like using anything else. However, transistor amps – and transistor amps that also use modelling – are an important and valid part of the amp world. We keep getting asked for our opinion on them, so this is step one!

We take three low/mid-price amps – one fully transistor, one transistor/modelling hybrid and one valve amp – and use them with a range of common overdrive and distortion pedals. We also chuck in a compressor for good measure, and touch of delay here and there.
There are some surprising discoveries alongside some entirely expected outcomes!
