I suspect not as good as you would hope, guitar valve amps are
designed to be intentionally poor in HiFi terms. OPTX's that
saturate, power supplies that sag etc.


But there's no feeling in the world that comes close to standing 5
feet from an 8 x 12 Marshall stack with a low slung '59 Les Paul,
playing BIG power chords and riding the sustain...


There is, as it happens, but you would need an 80's 1,000cc Jap
Sports bike to experience it.......


Ah, but to stay on topic, are 80's 1,000cc Jap Sports bikes designed to be
intentionally poor in HiFi terms?
