Hi
I'm just chillin' taking whoops of the vape and listening to music
I'm gonna order a new amp today I'm tired of trying to play metal on an acoustic
Perhaps I'll visit the new vape shop in town too I haven't been there as of yet

i often think its funny how much we spend on amps these days, in the 1960s it made perfect sense, mixing boards were HORRIBLE, amps and mics were low tech. today having an amp is actually a point of lowering quality.
last tour i did, i talked my band-mates out of amps (and we all had huge pro stacks. instead we pushed everything through direct boxes...(one DI rack/mixer in this case)and through high quality PAs which were necessary anyhow.
we'd show up to a venue, had the guy 1 cable for each channel (2 left and right) everything was pre mixed and ready to go, we could do setup and sound-check in about 5 mins total and had the best sound (because you minimize feedback and noise this way).
no amps to mic means no reflection feedback means you can crank the sound more and the feedback suppression on the house board isnt knocking out frequencies left and right so you sound more like what you want to 
ps lug HUGE unloaded (lighter) stacks on stage for effect if you like.

I've decided on a Blackstar HT-1R combo amp
It's a tiny 1 watt all-tube amp with some killer tone
Perfect for my purposes

Yeah it's quite little but it's gonna have better tone than any of the other solid state amps I've owned
Plus 1 watt of tube power is a LOT louder than you would think
Anyway I just ordered that thing and a new dripping atomizer as well as other assorted gear I will need
Now time to smoke a bowl because buying shit on Ebay always frustrates me

Oh and I got the regular HT-1 because I'm not about to pay $80 more for reverb
Plus this one comes with a 2-year warranty
Can't beat that

actually the 1 watt tube power is the same as 1 watt solid state... it all has to do with speaker selection. but yes i know that 1 watt tube amps can have great tone, i've made several of my own 
no matter if an amp is solid state or tube the same is true
assume an amp and a 12 inch cone.
if the amp is 1 watt and the cone is 1 watt or the amp is 100 watt and the cone is 100 watt
the sound produced will be SLIGHTLY louder on the 100 watt system because we dealing with percentages.
if instead we use
a 250 solid state with a 250 watt speaker and a 100 watt tube with a 25 watt speaker
the tube will be able to push louder. (even if not for long lol)
if you reversed that
250 tube 250 speaker 100 solid 25 speaker
the solid would be louder (also wont last long).
the tube advantage is the randomization of the sound
was just listening to a meyers sound lecture ... talking about how they did stuff for the grateful dead. they got into this a bit, it was mostly about testing and noise suppression

oh i meant to talk about the other variable.
cone size.
if you have 1 watt amp 1 watt speaker 9 inch vs 1 watt amp 1 watt speaker 12 inch,
the 12 inch is louder... and this is actually the best way to increase loudness with clarity.
because loudness is a function of moving area of the speaker, wattage allows you to push greater areas
but for guitar (i play guitar).
and for metal (i play metal and industrial)
clearity isnt as cool as distortion.
and the best distortion sounds is speaker overdrive
100 watt amp + 25 watt speaker
at 25% volume you have max loudness of the speaker, at 26% volume you start to distort.... if you mic that and isolate it (sound proof box)... then compress that... you get the best overdrive distortion money can buy.
-----------
tube overdrive works similarly, you simply charge the tube more than it can technically handle without degrading and it creates randomized harmonics because of arcing, to waaaay oversimplify it.
i bring this up. because its really the only thing that tube amps do better (and its valuable)... they add randomized harmonics which widen the scope of the tone, in a way you can only kind of fake with solid state. its not a CLEANER tone. but its a much more natural and pleasant one.
