Have any professional audio products been released using this technology yet? Guitar amps or similar.
Is this purely used in audio or is there a display (video) usecase for this as well? The landing page seemed to imply the technology is coming from display tubes.
- droussel 8y agoVox has released guitar amps with NuTube in them: https://www.voxamps.com/MV50 https://www.voxamps.com/MV50 Ibanez has also released a Tub Screamer that uses them: https://www.ibanez.com/na/products/detail/nts_01.html https://www.ibanez.com/na/products/detail/nts_01.html
- jeremymcanally 8y agoAnd the Vox amps at least sound really great IMO. I had the "Clean" one for a while, which mimicks a Fender circuit. It sounded pretty darned close to a "real" tube amp. The only reason I got rid of it was I got a Fender Super Champ x2 with USB out for recording more easily.
- stonogo 8y agoAside from the Vox MV50, I've never seen this in the wild. I hope someone proves me wrong, since the MV50 sounds great and I'd like to see what else is out there.
- tubetime 8y agofor audio, Korg has a gallery of examples: https://korgnutube.com/en/gallery/ https://korgnutube.com/en/gallery/ the tech uses the same manufacturing line as a traditional vacuum fluorescent display. VFDs are technically vacuum triodes where the plate has been painted with a phosphor. the device is probably not fast enough to be used as a video amplifier.
- tecleandor 8y agoSeems like you can also buy them (nut very cheap) and make a DIY project. https://www.rs-online.com/designspark/design-of-a-korg-nutube-amplifier-part-1-tube-basics https://www.rs-online.com/designspark/design-of-a-korg-nutub...
