It's clear that this device is designed as a processing element for guitar
and other musical production needed.
It's not clear whether it actually sounds like a conventional tube in that
application; the weird curves do not look much like those of a 12AX7.
Ah, a superheterodyne radio tube!!
So, who else was clever to bridge the tube radio on/off switch with a diode, enough to keep tube filaments warm for instant on sound!?

It's definitely not useful as a general-purpose neutral-sounding gain device
(which the 12AX7 is if you treat it well).
