Yes, people use those to add harmonics, and some distortion to the sound, specially hardware ones
I am just starting to get a little home studio together… run my synth through a stereo tube compressor now and it sounds great. Would love to get some analog pres but damn this stuff gets expensive quick 😂
thanks guys, so something like this? https://www.thomannmusic.com/behringer_mic500usb_tube_ultragain.htm
Could be worth a try… but I was just reading about your SV1 and it has a tube in its circuit, as well as built in amp modeling. So I’m surprised that it isn’t sounding good direct in :-/
Yeah, the tube is there. Not sure if it's used always, or only for the distortion section. See pic. On headphones it's really good though. https://image.nostr.build/6d662c24bfd202990289363e1abe793b3d1e2ad2a1ad40c5be48c3718d97a0b0.jpg
