I can't see how adding signal processing improves a signal. But some
folks like to use tube pre-amps as tone controls. They can add a 'tube
warmth' which is usually just rolling off the top and bottom of the
spectrum.

And of course, tubes can add some nice intermodulation distortion.
Which is why I play my Gibson ES355 thru a tube Fender amp.
