If you think about what you just argued, you didn't really say anything. All he said was that solid state amps are designed to emulate the tone of a tube amp. That's simply because the tube amp was created before the solid state amp and therefore the initial designs for solid state amps were based around the tone created by the original tube amps. Think first, complain second.

JP: One thing of note is the different types of hybrid amps. Some companies will simply stick a tube (or tubes) in the gain stage (Fender, SWR, etc.) whereas other companies will have a full tube preamp that drives a solid state power section, typically a MOSFET power section (Mesa, Aguilar, Eden, etc.).
