Yes. That is annoying when someone walks into the room just when your about to finish recording and starts speaking to you. I think i would just record when no one was in the house. Or if i turned the amp up loud enough so no one could be heard... that might work :D
By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.
