What is an amp tube?
An "amp tube" is more appropriately referred to as a "vacuum tube". It is a very old analog technology that is used on earlier electronic amplification processes. Tubes are generally favored higher than their digital counterparts in the guitar realm due to their tone. Their tone is more lively and complex than the dead, flat sound of a digital amplifier. Generally tubes are wired in a series, each amplifying the signal. The greater the wattage, the more tubes are needed.
