Just because he taught them doesnt mean he should be better. Maybe he was a lot better than them when he started teaching them but that doesnt mean they cant become better than him !
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.
