Martin and Chris, I had no idea there were still devices that use vacuum tubes. But of course you can get a better class A linear amplifier with vacuum tubes than with transistors, which are often set up as class C push-pull, with the usual crossover problems. Appreciate the education.

That little glassy things which make the typical grunge and distorted warm sounds. The "Vox Tonelab SE" is a digital multy fx guitar floorboard equipped with real tubes to habe that nice sounds programmable. Each parameter has got its own rotating knob or on/off switch and the few menus You'll find do not scroll endless. So it is one of the most accessible modern devices I ever used and I used a lot ;-) So it is a perfect tool for professional guitar recordings. Rotating Knob is what I called poty in my last mail. Best!
