But Harvey, you must remember, LV knows everything.

Does he know *why* tube amps sound different than transistor amps?

Probably. ;-)

Does he
know *how* a transistor amp might be designed to sound like a tube amp?

Does he give a ****? Probably not. ;-)

Hint: It has to do with how these amps overload, iron in the signal path
(or
lack of it), and the amount, type and speed of feedback, etc.

Gosh, thanks.

Don't mention it. I'm just throwing stuff out there because I think it's
interesting. I've always been puzzled about why people obsess over
implementation details.

Hint: Tubes *and* FETs are both field-effect devices.

Hint: trons need plenty of room to frolic.

Now, if you wanna squish 'em all up into an itty-bitty
piece of sand, you go right ahead. I prefer free-range
organic trons which have plenty of room to do the bop,
the shimmy, the shake, or whatever other gyrations
their little homespun inspiration may lead them to try.
Don't need no consarned foreign molecules in the
way, or no dope, neither.

Discuss.

Go right ahead.

It has already started.
