[QUOTE="hoss, post: 622791, member: 549860"] so does this mean that people who obviously dont know what they are talking about should stop arguing?? and for those who dont know, a tube amps warmth IS distortion. the tubes create an interference in the upper harmonic range. i cant remember exactly which one it is, but i want to say the 7th harmonic maybe? the distortion is very faint though, and because of its location on the tone range it is percieved as a warmer more solid tone. to re-iterate, tube amps [SIZE=14px]DO[/SIZE] indeed sound different than a solid state amplifier, and this difference [SIZE=14px]IS[/SIZE] distortion. hopefully this will silence some of the less educated...
