Which is a similar sensation I'd experience when valves are in the
amplification chain. I know (before you start!) that that doesn't
compute. It gives me a very believable notion of instruments (etc) and
spatial perspective.

Not sure what you mean. It's only voltage signals going through the
valves, so what they do to one, they must do to all. So do you mean
that everything sounds a bit further away with valves?

I'm going to make myself unpopular for saying it, but what I suspect Rob
really means is that he gets a similar sensation when he knows (or believes)
there are valves in the amplification chain.


But a similar sensation to what? My clip has five versions, all with
different proportions of reverb. Do you think he is saying the effect
is similar to the first, the last, or one in between. It can't just be
"similar".


I could have been clearer. The sensation is similar to reverb, albeit
very light, and much more pleasant.
