Hybrid

A hybrid preamp contains both solid-state and tube components. Most of the inexpensive tube preamps that you find in the marketplace are actually hybrids. (These are also called starved-plate designs because the tubes don’t run the same level of voltage as expensive tube designs.) These types of preamps are usually designed to add the classic tube warmth to your instrument’s sound. How much the sound is colored by the tubes and how pleasing that colored sound is to the listener’s ears is dependent upon the quality of the preamp. Most hybrid preamps allow you to dial in the amount of character (pleasing distortion) that you want.
