A list someone put up on the harmony central forums. It just makes me laugh when i see this list.
Kirk hammet.. well 19 nps thats just a load of ****. Also i dont think the 10th fastest guitarist in the world can only play 14 nps. Even i can play that fast.
I just had to talk about this list and how retarded it is !

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.
