Batteries? I don't need no steekin batteries. A Strat with single coils and a tube amp. Except when I want to hear my ES-335, which has to totally different tone, humbucklers, etc. Of course, you are right, you can get into long discussions about solid state vs tube rectifiers in your tube amp. And when you have an all tube setup, and you are really cranking it up, the filament voltages sag along with the main power supply (what modern folks talk about as rails, but no good tube amp is anything other that point to point wiring.) And when you have a Marshal four speaker cabinet, the speakers all sound different, so when you are recording, you have to figure out which of the four is right. > It was just an illustration of the point that different "rules" apply > in different situations! You bet. And when it is recorded, did they use a SM57 up close? or a ribbon? or a large diameter condersor mic? They all sound different as well. > Anyway, Happy Xmas!
