> Classic tube guitar amps got a lot of their tone from the phase splitter, power amp tubes, and power amp transformers. Don't expect an all-nutube-amp. Subjectively, the one effect often missing from preamp-only tube amps I've tried is power stage sag[1]. I've seen DSP software with it (or rather, a knob for it). In that respect, I'm not sure the solid state / preamp tube / all-tube segmentation can be justified anymore: modern modelling amps sound terrific (subjectively, to my ears), offer sonic variety (because why not), and have a completely different idea of value (comfort, power and size); With that, the NuTube just feels like it's going after an audience who won't be convinced that electrons flowing through a DSP are made of the same quantum stuff, which is unfortunate.
