It was a transitional time. Scruffy and Chuz Life could probably better answer. If it were the 60s then probably yes, it was still tube, if it were early 70s, it might still be tube or transistor.

Keith Emerson still used tubed gear in Emerson Lake and Palmer. He used to bang the gear around to create microphonics in the tubes.

The main push to transition over to transistors was the need and interest in miniaturization, making instruments smaller, like going from the floor pedal organ to the Moog synthesizer.

Tubes are costly, hot, big, heavy, and take up a lot of space.

Valve is just the British word for a tube, referring to the Fleming Valve (named after the inventor).

That picture in #429 by Deadstick, that is all solid state stuff there.

Thanks for the detail tube freak.

That Solton looks a bit like something that Roy Buchanan played with.

Earlier I was listening to Béla Bartók "String Quartet No. 5", on the record player.

You Tube being amazing, they have all of Bartók's String Quartet's uploaded.

The painting in the background of course, this is Wassily Kandinsky's "Composition VIII" from 1923, Kandinsky's early Bauhaus period....I love Kandinsky, one of my favourite artists.

This is the Allegro from "String Quartet No. 5":



Then I listened to Imarhan, who are Tuareg from Algeria and are on City Slang Records which is owned and run by some friends of our's in Berlin:

City Slang Records

Imarhan

The whole Imarhan album is completely astonishing.

This is Imarhan's song "Tahabort" which is amazing, incredibly intricate guitar work and in general just extraordinary noise, they're on tour throughout Europa this month and also March, we must go and watch them do their thing:



Edited to add comment.

Great song! Ram you’ve made me a true fan of this band because you force me to take a second look. Play another one for the road!

In order
1. Huey- the commanding, raspy voice
2. The keyboard guy because of this song. He took this song to another level,
3. Guitarist in striped shirt.
