A Modern Chassis With Tube Richness

Ampapa’s A1 Vacuum Tube Headphone Amp brings a beautiful combination of modern design and vintage tube richness into a desktop preamp that really sings. Suitable for general preamp usage, phono preamp functions, or driving your high-end headphones, the A1 packs the juice and the headroom you’ll need for virtually any listening situation. The impressive 16-to-300-ohm impedance range is perfect for higher-end IEMs or audiophile-grade headphones, while the equally impressive 106-decibel signal-to-noise ratio for RCA usage and 80-decibel ratio for phono usage is perfect for bringing richness into your desktop DAC or record player signal chain—without artifacts. Complementing the sound with a style that’s equally as rich, the A1’s platform-style chassis features lighting accents and exposed tubs that channel an almost futuristic look to house your vintage tube warmth.

Question
Is this a 'hybrid' type design, I'm assuming? I've never gotten much out of those in the past, they sound like SS amp to me. I'd like something with some audible distortion or roll off or something. Lol
