adding a pre-tube circuit to a dr.Boogie/Diefet

To create its lush overdrive tone, the TOD-9 blends this subminiature tube stage with a solid-state distortion circuit.  Unlike other tube overdrives, the TOD-9 employs a unique "pre-tube" circuit configuration, where the tube comes before the solid-state distortion circuit in the signal chain.  By cascading the tube stage into the distortion stage, a more realistic tube-amp tone is achieved.  The result is a warm yet powerful guitar tone that is extremely interactive with the player's performance and responds exactly like a hard-working tube-amp.


Could a similar circuit be added to a Dr.Boogie and a Diefet?
any suggestions?

thx, Eric

Interesting idea.  The TOD9 sounds pretty muddy in the soundclips though, I don't know if that's just because of the way it's designed or what but I'm sure it could be made to sound good.  Thankfully there are a lot of good submini tube projects on this site that could be referenced for different ideas.
