Re:How Tube Amplifiers Work by cartoonworld on Thursday November 13, 2025 @01:01AM (#45911265)
Sometimes it does, for example, just like gp mentions, a tube rectifier in a single ended amp can have a voltage “sag” that interacts with the rest of the system and causes an interactive “color” in the output, especially when amplifying larger voltage swings of bass notes and chords.

There are quite a few effects like this. In a modern design this would be eliminated, but sometimes “bad” is good :)
