RE: What Makes SET Amps Tick?

It has to do with what your brain does with those low order harmonics. They are being masked because your ear makes similar distortion patterns. This means that what you are hearing, as long as you don't push the amp too hard, is effectively pure because your brain filters the harmonics out. Neat trick but it only works if the pattern of the amp mimics the pattern of the ear's own distortion.
