Everything he plays must be played flawlessly or he won't play it. Every note must ring true. Every note must have the right tone. Everything must be perfect... Try just sticking to the top two things yourself and it just might drive you nucking futs...
hmm, that sounds a bit like me !
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.
