Science behind tube amps

[MikeS]

An elementary question, I know, but I’m simply curious. When it comes to an all tube amp and channel switching, how exactly does the amp handle gains? I’m completely dumb when it comes to this. Do tubes get switched on and off? How’s it work?

If you don’t feel like typing a tone of info, a link will suffice.
