This is the obvious choice, but I don't know how possible it is with vacuum tube technology to mimic the sag and compression that the Fuck has. The ironic thing is, some would say the pedal is supposed to mimic a small amp with a tube rectifier being played at full-tilt, but how do you bring that into a 100 watt amp? You can't really use a tube rectifier with that much wattage (well, you can, but Nick said it's not a good idea), and you'd have to play the amp at maximum all the time to create the compression. And as you crank the gain on the Fuck the signal distorts in varying ways. At full gain it's really fuzzy and chewy, which I absolutely love, while at low gains it's clear and more transparent. I've never ever come across an amp that can do this. Which makes me think it's simply not possible without using JFET solid state clipping methods like that of the ss/bs.
Yeah, all tube is the way to go. Otherwise, as you say, you may as well just slap the fucker (pun intended) in the front-end of your favourite tube amp.
You know, I think I'm going to write Brian and ask what his opinion is. Not for anything concrete, just for his thoughts and whether he's ever considered it.

A Ploom Pax. It's a portable vaporizer.
Started smoking pot for fun some nights then found it helps a ton with my nightly anxiety attacks and keeps me a lot more positive about life. So now I'm smoking every day and figured a portable vape would help me smoke on the go discreetly and also help me use my herb more efficiently. Usually I just smoke at night a couple hours before bed but this summer when I have less shit to do I'll be making some more music while I'm high. Looks like I'm turning into a cliche stoner but I'm much happier now than I've been in a long time so I'll stick with it.

please call it the FUCK OVERDUN like when tasting cinimon rolls and there all dry n shit
fuck,overdun
and rrr circuit for the reverb (including all knobs on front panel) do this i command thee
Holy Shit. ILFAMP. Would obviously need a crazy fuzz channel, too. Also, keep that shit solid state. The Fuck sounds good enough. I don't wanna change no stinkin' tubes all the time.

It would all be in the preamp, anyway, right? So you just need an SS poweramp and you're set. You're basically creating this ILF amp just by using the pedals into any amp. Someone make like, a pedal sized chip power amp, and you could just plug your pedalboard into a cabinet.
Yeah, or just like, use the pedals into an amp. Fun idea, but I don't really see the point when amps are awesome and the pedals already exist! I dunno, maybe there is a reason to do this I'm missing.

STOP RUINING THE FUN
But yeah, I almost always have on of my Minis on so I'm already doing this anyways. If I could drive a speaker cabinet though? That'd be killer. & an ILF Amp Swag would give me internet points, yo

Although at that point why not just use the pedal.
