If one has the amplifier in question, one can produce a reasonable facsimile
of the transfer function using various waveforms and frequencies, then
interpolate (cubic splines, probably) to determine a transfer function that
one cane then put into a 'transfer function engine' that would replicate said
transfer function. You should be able to characterize down to the individual
lot number level with enough resolution in the interpolation.

Has such a 'transfer function engine' effect plugin been written?
