Hi,

Is there anyway to get the Fireball to sound more like a tube amp, and not all staccato and choppy?

If that question doesn't make sense how about: "What delights await me when I change out the factory preamp tube in my Fireball?"

Tubes aren't going to make much of a difference, the nature of preamp on the fireball is highly compressed and saturated. Don't get me wrong, some kickass tubes in there will certainly make it sound better, but you're not really going to change the nature of the beast.

well, the fireball isn't very much about fexibilty. It does one thing, and it does it really well. If you're not looking for a very tight hi-gain rhythm sound, then it's definitely the wrong amp.

what sound are you going for and what are your settings?

The clean channel sounds really sterile on its own, but with a clean boost it sound pretty good actually. Still nothing like a <insert vintage tube amp name here>, though. That's the only other usable tone (besides a great rhythm tone) i could get out of it yet.
