Solid State Valves?

I stumbled across this after somebody started a thread about AMT Electronics' preamp pedals over on the Effects board:

https://amtelectronics.com/new/amt-12ax7ws/

If I've understood correctly, they seem to be pitching this "Warm Stone" device as a direct replacement for conventional vacuum tubes in valve amplifiers. I see they claim that people couldn't tell the difference in a blind audio test - well, that's marketing departments for you. Has anyone come across this kind of witchcraft before? Does it do what it claims? Is it the next logical step once I've finished replacing all the filament bulbs in my home with LEDs?

They're a bit cagey about whether their new "Brick" pedals have these things pre-installed, which is naughty since they're advertising them as "tube guitar preamplifiers". I'm definitely not someone who believes that valves are magical and will never be bettered, but I'd still like to know exactly what I'm getting!
