nothing like that transformer sound.

It's interesting how the old tube amps with output
transformers were pretty bad in terms of bandwidth and
fidelity yet had more pleasing distortion, especially when
pushed hard and the non-linear speaker load reflected back
to the output tubes and the wimpy tube rectifier power
supply started sagging. It makes a pretty complex system
when combined with room acoustics, guitar resonances, and
multiple feedback paths.

Theres been a lot of work on DSP emulation and modeling that
so far I've not found nearly as satisfying but it's sure
nice to be able to come close at low volume.

oh crap, Moss just got a gift in the end zone.
