With lot's of homework and perhaps some trial and error, you may not have to worry too much whether it's tubed or solid state.
Hopefully the goal is that the resulting sonics will sound like neither.
Some tube equipment can sound like solid state and vice versa.
But tubed equipment generally requires more involvement and more maintenance than solid state equipment.
-IMO
