Blue Tubes - what are they?

I've spotted this 300watt rig and it says something about "Blue tubes"
has anybody heard of this term and know what they are talking about.
I don't mean explain what vacuum tubes are,
I think it is a brand or something that I have heard around the traps?
Are they any good?
Sorry about the duplicates below,
Opera have released a new browser version 7
and it is only in beta and although usually blazingly fast,
still has some problems with some pages.
Plus I get impatient when I get these normal hold-ups and a page won't load for ages and hit reload when I probably shouldna
aaaaaa well...
I thought the messages had not registered and hit reload - twice obviously,... sorry.

Anyhow one day I'll get me a bass-amp
and ya's won't have to put-up with inane questions about modern equipment
from a silly old rocker from the late 60's.

I don't know for sure, unless it is the Blue Tube pedal from Real Tube. It was an overdrive pedal designed for bass or could be used with guitar. It has a warmer tube overdrive sound, rather than a distortion pedal sound. They produced a "Blue Tube" rackmount called the 902, I think. I've slept since then.
