Solid-state amps have superseded tube amps?

[ed packard]

Jim; I have always liked Carvin products. I use their XP4 and DCM series power amp in a rack. Got some of their older bigger stuff in the garage/music room.

Their rack power amps are ss with toroidal power transformer ... They make a good line of tube amps also. Good products = best bang for the buck plus good service.

Carvin started making lap steel kits so I am told, back in their Chicago days.

T.C.,

The BiValve has an efx loop, but it's just a passive loop. So far it's worked with anything I have tried with it but they have been line lever efx with input and output controls. I suppose there are instrument level efx that would be overdriven.
