It is kind of crazy the way this guy has the thing mounted. You ever been
close to a tube amp when its on? Those things get hot! And he's got it
mounted just a few inches from his head. They can also electrocute you if
you touch them the wrong way. I think if I was going to put a tube amp in my
van, I would pick a better spot for it, and provide a nice fan to keep it
cool. Tubes do provide superior sound quality, and if you like music there's
no better way to listen to it. I have a 1974 Sunn Model T tube head that I
use as my guitar amp. Its in the shop right now. For the meantime I'm
borrowing my friend's solid state Marshall amp. It's just not the same.
Nothing compares.
