meaningless :
are you sure the tube is really doing something? i am skeptical about the marketing strategy of "we have added a tube!!! now it will sound beautiful and have real analogue warmth and magic!!". theres a lot of guitar equipment out there that boasts having a "tube" in it, but the tube is kinda just wired into the signal chain in a way that lets the sound kind of pass and maybe be slightly amplified, but never properly drives it, so it doesn't add anything to the sound. in this device here, if they found that the tube is indeed not affecting the sound, they could just add a digital saturation effect on top of the tube, would be easy, noone would notice. these people can be sneaky like that. the sounds a lottle warmer, and people are amazed, and they believe in the "magic of analogenand tubes". just sayig, manufacturers of audio equipment are often not extremely truthful, and my experience with tubes in devices that usually don't use them (it's obviously different with proper guitar amplifiers) does not inspire confidence, but rather makes me skeptical of this type of gear and the marketing around it. id really be skeptical whether im buying an actually tube saturated sound, or the usual digital tube effects garbage supplemented by the dream of analogue tube preamp saturation.
