By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.

Some mavericks are nice. The one i got cost about £350 which i'm guessing would be about 700 euros. I think they usually come with floyd rose and locking nut and sound good for metal playing and mine seems to work really well for clean stuff too.
