 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?

 This looks nice for something simple. I use to have a cheat 8 channel behringer that cost me around 100 fiat units... It was good and cheap 
 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  
 Huh.  I really can’t imagine why it wouldn’t sound good direct.  Are you using balanced TRS cables (as opposed to TS / instrument cables)? 
 XD I know, I use to fix those things in a SAT Ive seen so many crazy hardware and weird synths. They are very expensive, but also super fun, there are also a trend in diy kits that are awesome  
 This ones are really cool https://warmaudio.com/wa76
