What is the difference between tube poweramps and non-tube poweramps? I was looking on americanmusical to see what types of poweramps there are and they had some cheap ones like the behringer euro-something. Lots of watts...like 700. All the reviews were good and they said it was clean. But then I look at some tube poweramps and they're like 2 channels, 50 watts per channel. Are they the same things? And I don't know exactly how poweramps are used. Can someone explain that to me?

Ugh... That behringers are not guitar poweramps. You can use it with guitar, but then dont expect it to sound good. A dedicated guitar poweramp, either tube or ss is more preferable. I'd get a tube one

...Each guitarist has an evil fat 40 year old blueswankler trying to get out, If you give in to temptation you'll be sitting next to a fender playing john lee hooker while trying to keep your combover in place.

I always have trouble finding poweramps that aren't UBERLYEXPENSIVEandTUBE. It's actually sort of frustrating. The cheapest guitar poweramp that I've seen or heard of is the Carvin TS-100 or something like that. But that's tube. What solid state guitar poweramps are there that are cheaper than the Carvin? I'm pretty sure the Carvin is $500.
