This is a new one that went to Gary in Decatur. The last of the 'All Octal' amps - Octal tubes in the both preamp positions. This one has the "bass cut" switch plus a power reduction mod switch that doesn't suck tone. The power reduction switch is a three position switch that has 'full power', '1/2 power' and '1/8 power'. You need ten times the wattage to achieve twice the volume. So, a 100 watt amp is only twice as loud as 10 watt amp. As a result, the half power only knocks down the volume by about 15% - not much of a difference. The 1/8 gets you about half the volume, which is usable. Next time I'll skip 1/2.
Gary seems pleased so far. I think he might post a review.
