Jim Lill has a video testing amp tone:

It's almost entirely EQ and distortion, applied in various orders (the exact signal chain matters, because EQ after distortion sounds different than distortion after EQ). By getting this right you can simulate any tube amp tone with solid state to a high degree of accuracy.
- cpursley 1y agoSure but it’s only been relatively recently that the modeling and solid state stuff has gotten close. And even then, it’s still not quite right. Also, even a good solid state or modeling amp is gonna cost a decent amount. Luckily, we have more choices than ever, and I even have a tube powered preamp that’s absolutely killer paired with an IR cab response loader.
