An accurate amp is like a mirror... not everybody likes what they see...
Distortion is like make-up and breast implants... you may get the WOW factor... but there's nothing like the real thing.
Once you get the real thing everything else seems like breast implants...
Of course, there always will be someone who likes breast implants without knowing they are implants... but as long as you are happy, who cares?!
But please... don't you ever call it the real thing!
