RE: Try being a musician, specifically an electric bass or guitar player!

Well, every good guitar player (and bass player) knows that a good amp has a certain feel to it, especially in tube amps. this can be the sustain the amp contributes, or how well it handles clipping (something some player WANT).

Sag has to do with the design of the power supply and how it reacts as the amplifier as it reaches clipping. Again, this is something that contributes to the overall tone. This can also cause audible compression just as the amp reaches before clipping.

I'm sure that someone like FenderLover can voice it much better than I can.
