[QUOTE="ghostinthemachine, post: 394400, member: 760"] Interesting. I recenty completed a guitar amplifier for a client with a tube pre-stage and a class-D 180 watt power stage (Hypex). To get that "easily-crushed" tube sound I simply starved the tubes anode supplies to 50 volts. Goes into overdrive/saturation quickly and sounds rather nice from a rock-music perspective. I also once built a tube distortion pedal and thats where I learnt the starvation trick. Had 15 volts on the 12AU7's anodes. [/QUOTE]
