[QUOTE="Jaded Faith, post: 131646, member: 1068"] Soldano had an identical product years ago, but housed in a tube. Not a bad idea, but there are two problems: 1: Most guitarists typically equate the quantity of tubes in an amp directly with the number of gain stages being used. Not always at all the case, as many amps have 2-3 channels and use various tubes for different channels or the loop. Rarely does any gain channel use more than 2 - 2.5 12AX7's. and then there is always my favorite.... 2: There is a point of diminishing returns with cascading gain stages. More is not always more and it will become detrimental at a point. This is one of the funniest things to explain to players and it always makes think of Spinal Tap going to 11. About 90% of guys just can't wrap their heads around the possibility that more isn't always better. [/QUOTE]
