Q: Does the number of tubes affect the sound?


I have a newbie question; does the number of tubes affect the sound? I have seen some amps with a dozen tubes and others with only one. What does this do to the sound? Does it only take 1 tube to get a tube sound?

it depends how powerful the signal you want. many tubes working in-phase superpose the signal to one another thus increasing the output power.
