The Klon. Completely unnecessary. Turn your damn amp up.
+10.
I never understood why everybody freaks out about the Klon, tbh. I played it and it's very dynamic but it doesn't do anything that you couldn't do with a good boost pedal in front of a nice tube amp.

the worst amp ever is the one that doesn't work
the worst pedal ever is the one that is permanently broken
the worst guitar ever is the one that is snapped in two and is warped beyond belief
though in their prime, they may have been the best gear ever

This, plus, bassists use solid state amps all the time, and they manage to get some decent sounds

I would have liked a 60 for how small my apartment is, but $200 for the Talking Heads old amp was too good to pass up.

the worst pedal would be the one that doesn't work.
SERIOUSLY THOUGH, I STILL ADORE ALL THREE OF THE GUITAR VIDEOS HERE WITH ALL MY HEART !

, may bad music played on bad gear for bad people never stop or be snuffed out by the elite !

I agree, I liked all the Yamaha G50's/G100's Iv'e played through ... but for me the epitome of solid state goodness are the old Gorilla 8" 50 Watt amps (not the pussy 35 watt ones ) the built in "Tube Cruncher" gives me shivers and reminds me closely of the new school boutique fuzz/fender single coil sound ( I used a humbucker model les paul copy for the same tones back in the 80's

. They will destroy those cheap speakers quickly though.
I gave up on Tube amps last time I moved and couldn't take my beloved TUSC 15" bass amp ( MAN that was a Heavy beast) , still sounded amazing with my guitar even after a friend borrowed it, forgot he was supposed to warm it up and smoked it.They are too high maintenance for me anymore... I replaced them currently with a Roland Blues Cube BC-30 with some kind of tube emulation circuitry, It's my new LOVE.
But play what you like, I couldn't give two squirts of piss for approval of my gear, especially when It's all I can afford in this economy.
