Is the HT series really valve amps?

Are the HT1 and HT5 really valve amps, or are they SS amps with a couple of valves pretending to be a valve amp?

The schematic diagrams of the amps have a lot of integrated circuits!!

I think they're hybrid.

I’ve concluded that they are valve amps, but the overdrive sound is added with SS circuits. I’m not sure if the valve adds to the clean harmonics , or if that is also from SS circuitry.
Is the valve just a decoration ?
