Hi,
I don't know much about tube amps, except that they are supposed to be the best amps, because they produce a warm sound. So I was thinking of getting a valve amp in the future. But I think I heard, or read somewhere, that they have to be used at a high volume, is that true? Can't you play using a tube amp at a lower volume? I usually practice in my apartment, and wouldn't like the neighbours to kick me in the balls  So... are tube amps that much better than solid state amps?, and, how loud do you have to set them to get their true tone? Thanks
