Trust me there are bad shredders e.g Francesco Fareri.
Just have a listen. I wouldnt really class satch as a shredder but he has got style to his playing.
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.
