"Now there are as I mentioned several different types of amps. This amp, which is a very popular amp, is a tube amp. And the reason I was calling it a tube amp is because you'll see the tubes in the back right here. These are the output tubes. They're also the preamp tubes, which are a little more buried in the back of the guitar here. But, I've got one here I can show you. This is what a tube looks like, this is a preamp tube. Now you'll also see on the back how they fit in, similar to an XLR Cable. Something to that extent. Now the electricity flows through these tubes and creates a certain tone, a certain sound of the amplifier when an instrument is played through it. Now it's usually a little bit more mellow, a little more round and certainly more natural. It's a very natural sounding amp. And blues players love this sound, jazz players love this sound, it gives it a very round kind of tone to it. And this is what this amp is all about."
