"Tube driver stage" is about as relevant to quality of sound as a decal
on the box would be. Well, no because it can actually worsen things.
It's a gimmick. It won't sound any better than a cheap solid state
pedal.

The design of the circuit is everything, and I can assure you, its core
engine, even pumped through a 65ยข tube, won't sound nearly as *alive* as
the all-digital machine drum.

Korg have basically no chance of competing with a company like Elektron
when it comes to quality.
