The reason to use valves is to get that valve 'sound'. Eliminating some
of the causes of the distortions so beloved of valve enthusiasts defeats
the purpose.

Once you have a good amp, without distortion, it is relatively easy to
modify the signal at a low level, to produce any kind of distortion you
might want.

Analogue to Digital(A-D) -- computer -- D-A -- AMP would allow you to
produce a signal with almost any imaginable and certainly any 'real amp'
characteristics that one might desire.

You'd need to package it inside some large heavy box that glowed in the
dark, though. Don't underestimate the power of the eyes over the ears.
