I love the sound of overdriven power tubes in a small guitar amp. I have several tweed Gibsons with two 6V6's running Class A that sound amazing when driven hard.
It's a different sound from most modern amps that get their distortion by overdriving the preamp tubes. Older amps did not have "Preamp gain" and "master volume" controls. When you turn them up, it's the power tubes grinding that you hear. Nothing compares except very early Marshalls, which are too loud to suit me.
