Best solid state rack power amp ?

Let me bridge the gap. I am all for the ambition of that rig, 1000%.

VHT/ Freyette Valvulator 1 totally are game changing tone enhancers.
They give those Solid State amps and Digital processors, tube articulations.
They are great with lowering high impedance signals into low impedance thru the tubes.

I moved it from being the first thing and the last thing on my pedalboard, to using it between my Digitech 2112's two balance outputs to the VHT Valvulator 1's before going into two Crate Power Blocks.

The Valvulator 1's are exactly like plugging into a super quality amp input and it killed the "Solid State" sterility. I have three 12ax7's being pumped per channel.

Ok but I don’t buy it. I went through racks like this back in the day and it ended them . People didn’t get the point then of a few simple quality items with a dry pass and a switching system that is transparent and removes items that aren’t on out of the path. This is what the best ones always did . We even replicate this approach on the best pedalboards with G3 switchers and time based fx in the loop.

My system doesn't have any glitches/ latency/ pauses when I switch programs, the 2112 has a seemless transition when I change patches, the delays and reverbs fade like a studio recording edit, from 0.2ms to infinite fade, while I play the new program.

Even my Decible Eleven Loop Expander doesn't have latency issues.... great combination in my gear, I guess.

I’m not talking about latency.
