Transtube.....?

Well I just found out "transtube" is not actually "tube".
So what does it do model the style of a "tube" ?

If so how good are these ? The one I am looking at is "PEAVEY XXL"
I am in a alternative band at the moment and trying to form a metal band.

We play silverchair, STP, and such.

If this "XXL" is good enough or not please give opinions.

Its solid state with "tub technoligy" im not sure what that means but it dosent mean it sounds like a tube amp. The XXL is a pretty good Solid State amp. And BTW silverchair and STP arent metal.... be prepared for flames

well some good non tube peavey buys that i'd suggest are: xxl,supreme xl, and the transtube 100 efx....
you can pick up about any of them for dirt cheap on ebay,and if you got a little more $, i'd also suggest a new or used 5150,xxx, or blue voodoo(crate).

i like the 5150's better than the xxx, they have better all around tone for more versitile sounds.
