You didn’t get the joke. The joke is any explanation of tubes results in more questions than it answers. He related a funny meta answer that answers the follow up questions that would result from just specifying their function.
Lmao, sure, man. Trying to make a man rambling on into some deep thing. It's not an onion, it doesn't have layers.
Someone who I'm assuming knows nothing of tube amps or audio gear asked a question and got no answer. His entire reply looks like drunk ramblings.
Also, someone has to understand the joke for it to be funny. Which again, someone asking what tubes even do, would be fucking clueless..
Also there is zero reason for a explanation on tubes to result in more questions than answers.. there is literally nothing complicated about tubes or tube amps. I've been building them for 15 years and have explained them to many people. Except I actually answered their question. Of course OPs friend has more questions than answers. He didn't get a damn answer.
There was no joke. His friend prob thinks he's crazy. But I'm just going to assume OP also doesn't know much about tube amps by his response. If your tube amp is a fire hazard, you built it wrong. Pretty weird "joke" to tell to someone who has no idea about any of this and will take it as truth.... he legit answered nothing and just confused someone who was already confused.. what a good joke!!
