What preamp tube dominates the tone chain?

Oh my god only a matter of time until these things get smaller and end up in our phones.

Life is an emulation anyhow. Imma battery!

Lots of folks have been trying to replicate the sound of vacuum tubes using solid state devices for several decades, and none have been successful. I'll be interested to hear what results you get.

Is it me or does everyone suddenly want fried chicken?

Here's the Tone King review on youtube.

Hard to tell on PC speakers but's sounds darn close to me....

Sounds fizzy

My thought exactly. Not entirely out of place in that type of playing and tone, and so probably the best chance for a solid state device to sound "passable," but I think the real thing was noticeably clearer, with less HF fizz and better note definition.

I wanted to hear a clean tone or slight overdrive demo instead of a buzz saw.

I gave that bitch some chicken. Bitches love chicken.

MOSFET?

I wonder how they drop the voltage without heat?

Zener?

Makes me chuckle the way Jet City covers the bottles inside the package, so you can't figure out who the 'underlying' manufacturer is without opening up the packet

Oops (just upping my post-count)

Without heat.. it has a little power resistor and a tiny current demand

Got a box full of these at the store I haven't even tried them out.

Jet City amps sound fizzy to start with.

You are evil lazy for being so motivated. Don't you just have to know?

I'd drop one on a band saw all accidental like... the red one.
