SS amp or receiver that sounds like Tube Amp

I just bought my son in law a guitar amp.   I bought him a sweet Mesa Boogie 4-40 California Tweed.   There is no way a Solid State amp can emulate the sound of four 6v6 and four 12ax7 .   Those dsp modeling amps try but they can not deliver the same tone.   

I’d look at a hybrid integrated with a tube input stage and SS output from the likes of Unison Unity or Pathos, or if you’re open to separates a tube pre and SS amp would be another option to get some of that tube magic.  Past that an amp that operates all or largely in Class A like Pass or Coda or a SS amp from a tube amp manufacturer like Audio Research or Atmasphere would be where I’d look next.  Best of luck. 

This post is going nowhere. I will just buy a vintage tube amp and rebuild it.

Going nowhere? You got a lot of good advice that I assume you are choosing to ignore.

You were a total waste of my time/effort.  Ingrate.
