Let's spread some musical misinformation

I'm guessing you're talking about amp tubes, but what about the talkbox tube ? I know they work differently (I once tried to put an amp tube in my mouth, didn't have the same effect on the sound at all), but do they have a different type of vacuum ?
Yesterday I learned that they're called vacuum tubes because they clean the dirt from your tone. Makes sense.
The MXR Talkbox tube gets its best performance when hooked to a hospital-grade Medela nursing pump. The oscillating vacuum and pressure is loads better for the delicate vocal chords of the Talkbox than the harsh suction of a carpet vacuum. In the extreme, a heavy vacuum like a Shop-Vac will such the AC adapter right up through the tube.
Great question, it's always good to ask about these kinds of things if you're unsure.
The next SpaceX rocket will take tubes to space to be filled with a perfect vacuum. Elon Musk, a gifted bass player, will test those tubes himself, using a revolutionary lithium-ion powered plug-in tube amp.
Of course I didn't. As we all know, an Ampeg SVT cannot emit a clean tone even at bedroom volume, and an Acoustic 360 sounds like bees' f#!t when cranked.
Faraday, one of Britain's most brilliant minds, had discovered electromagnetism 15 years before his birth but the British military realized that this information could fall into the hands of the troublesome colonists. Faraday was placed in a cage until 1812. Given their proximity to swamp ash, alder and hard maple, Americans would dominate shredding, wanging and hammer-ons for the best part of two centuries as MI6 estimated a British Invasion could not happen until the 1960s at the earliest.
Unfortunately for them, their prize asset Orville Gibson was a double agent. No-one suspected, on the basis he hadn't been born yet - a lesson our intelligence services have still not learned. Gibson created an electric guitar but instead offered it to the Continental Army. Of course, "electric guitar" would have let the cat out of the bag so Gibson, knowing the British inability to learn any foreign language, cleverly wrote "Les Paul" on the hardshell case. His Majesty's Revenue and Customs were never going to unclasp a box of smelly, French soft cheese for inspection.
The tragedy is, it never made its destination in time. Despite what your presidents might tell you, the Continental Army did not take over the airports until 1777 and a bit, when their Packard copies of the captured Merlin engine made it worthwhile. The victory celebrations were long over and only the Founding Fathers, who had now moved onto the port and were looking for a nice, mature Roquefort to go with their water biscuits, bothered to open the flightcase. Only James 'Jimi' Madison had a rudimentary go at The Star Spangled Banner which so alarmed and offended the others that John Jay (JJ, to his fans) set fire to the guitar.
Won’t that mean space will implode outside the tubes? Not cool, Musk.
They say space will be filled with dark matter instead.
Dark matter comes out of my cab when I am grooving well.
We never told you, as we thought you didn't know.
Dark Matter is the name of a reggae-inspired beauty-salon in Glebe, with a focus on braiding and dreadlocks — people go missing there all the time because they can't cover their final invoices.
Only a dozen more dreads? Dozen matter

So be sure to connect the respective amps to dark energy, bright energy and growl energy. Otherwise the universe may cease to exist.
Victor OXnard invented the first tub amp .. Yes, l said TUB, not TUBE amp.... He used his own bathtub to make it. It worked well and the acoustics were better than any other Amp made to date...using some of the letters from his name he started an Amp manufacturing company and the TARD Amp company was formed.. .. Victor did have a setback when his mother went to take a bath but forgot to unplug the power. Yelling and screaming as the electricity served through her body made everyone notice... This ended up causing the company to close and very few Tub amps were ever sold.
This is just a small footnote in music history nut due to the yelling she did at the time, Mrs. Oxnard is credited with inventing Heavy Metal Music.

QUESTION; how can something be filled with a vacuum ??? unless you mean putting a Hoover inside every glass bottle

You're showing obsolete technology. Those Hoover Tubes™ produced way too much hum. Those tubes now are collectors items.
Still way too many so called "musicians" and "audiophiles" don't want to admit that the Badgermin is the apex of musical achievement. This statement is an axiom. This is what Beethoven was hearing in his head. He tried his whole life to write it down for future generations but due to termites all his original Badgermin concertos look like pictures of train tracks with holes in them. We still use the "holey railroad" notation today, the treble clef has an extra rail for electric Badgermins.
Leo named the P bass the Fender Precision because it's very heavy, and "Fender Precision" is an anagram of "reinforced spine".
Anagram theory also explains why sometimes I don't get paid when I sit in with another band, because "bass guitar" is an anagram of "a gratis sub".
