[sdiy] Harmonics Question

[Harry Bissell]

There is another difference, tubes can often be somewhat (or greatly..) microphonic, adding
sounds no transistor amp would ever produce.

I also tried a circuit (long ago) that was said to generate only even harmonic distortion in varying
amounts. It was by far the worst sound I have ever heard...

I'd rather play guitar through a tube amp, that is if you are doing the lifting for me :^)

Strangely, I only ever see this asserted as actually-the-case by transistor
amp makers, not by tube amp makers...  :)
