Somebody in a magazine took one apart, and apparently when you use the tube feature they start running power into an LED behind the glass along with the volume so that it looks like it's doing something. That's not to say that it doesn't change the sound - it does - it's just funny that they added that light to make it look like your sound now contains THE POWER OF FIRE.


Yeah I noticed that immediately, it looks like an easy-bake oven. They are small tubes, and they wouldn't glow much on their own. That's marketing for you, I guess. Not unlike that weird rainbow lamp on the SP-555.

Re: adding tubes to other synths, I haven't seen that feature in anything else besides electribes... I guess the assumption is that if you want the tube sound, you'd use a tube preamp after the synth in your signal chain.

Yeah that makes more sense, as the Electribes are supposed to be relatively stand-alone.

Are you still in the city?
