Re: anyone know about transtube tech?
They are def one of the better sounding SS alternatives out there. I put some time into several of the TT models a few months back..XXLs, Bandits, etc, as well as Marshall MG's, Randalls, etc.
I wouldn't say they sound as good/warm as tubes by any means, and they certainly don't have the response/dynamics of tubes, but they are a decent lower cost alternative. Better than many of the lower priced digital modeling amps, IMO.

I'd take the XXL over a ton of tube amps out these days, and at those prices...daymn!
Ask Theodie, he used to have one, I believe he liked it better than his JCM900!

Re: anyone know about transtube tech?
I happen to like my Peavey Bandit 112. The latest version of it is even better. I just don't use an amp that often, though.
Would I like to have a good tube amp? Sure. Will I spend the money to get one? Not hardly.
Usually, I play through my POD direct to the mixer.
Plus, I approach SS amps and modelers differently that most tone hounds: I just try to get a sound I like. I don't really care if it is a "true" classic Marshall or Fender amp. What I DO care about is whether I like the sound I can get. The answer, of course, is "yes."
