 TA Audio Topics - EE Times Interview with John Murphy on Tubes vs. Solid-State
The advantage of the stomp box is that it is reliable-no tubes to change, it's consistent and it usually provides more gain or overdrive than a typical tube guitar amp.
The stomp box drives another guitar amp - tube or solid state - which then drives a limited number of the speakers.
Murphy created his solid state tube emulator circuit in 1983, when he was chief engineer for Carvin Corp. He claims his invention reproduces the significant characteristics of a tube amp.

So in spite of the inclement weather outside, the participants’ mood in San Diego was generally sunny as our LED industry continues its exciting progress toward new applications for solid state lighting.
Cree's stated metrics are 40-60 lumens at 350mA, with a typical brightness level of 45 lumens, which means that the product should produce a significant reduction in energy consumption by providing users of the 7090 more light in the same amount of space, using less electrical power.
As a follow-on to the first XLamp power LED line as introduced in July, the 7090 produce offers an even more cost-effective alternative to traditional lighting methods and is directly targeted at replacements for incandescent bulbs and other conventional light sources, providing longer life, lower maintenance costs and reduced energy consumption.
