I don't know about that.  You plug in a mic, you play.  You get one 
sound.  You like it, cool!  You don't like it?  Try a different 
mic.  Try a different tube combination.  Try a different speaker.  
Finally got something you like?  Try it in a different room.  Not 
loud enough?  Too loud?  Try a different mic.  Try a different tube 
combination.  Try a different speaker.  Try a different amp.  
Finally got something you like?  Try it in the studio...

I'm with you there, brother.  I especially like how warm they are.  
Seriously.  I love putting my hand on the top of the cabinet and 
feeling the warm tolex...
