Have you thought about how the frequency response of an old tube amp actually shapes what we hear, and whether a digital plug‑in can really replicate that?
Old tube amps add those sweet, subtle hums and gentle roll‑offs that our ears learn to love, not just a straight frequency curve. A plug‑in can mimic the numbers, but it’s a different beast than the warm, unpredictable character you get from a real piece of gear.
Sounds right—if you really want to capture that unpredictable warmth, the math only takes you so far; you still need the physical quirks of the tubes themselves.
