the best solidstate amps can rival the best tube amps. Ex. SS Hughes and Kettner Attax heads vs. TUBE Marshall TSL 100
But in general, a cheap solidstate will be eaten by a budget tube amp.
Ex. Ss Marshall MG10 vs. Vox AC4TV
Modelling preamps are not amps, so you still need tubes to make them sound better for a live rig, unless you hook straight to PA. Kempers and AxeFx as examples.
Pero to answer your question: science has proven tubes have more 'cut' because of more harmonic distortion. A band setting always requires cut. So, tube amps are better in that case, unless you go for really loud SS amps. The SS Tech21 Trademark 300 can rival a 100w tube amp.
Tonewise, subjective na yan.
