[QUOTE="Jaded Faith, post: 155534, member: 1068"] All the switch is doing is changing the cathode resistor and cathode bypass cap values for the initial stage in the amplifier. Preamp tubes are traditionally cathode biased in common gain stages most often seen in guitar amps. This is similar to cathode biasing a power tube. From a players point of view, you would most likely perceive it like a high frequency shelving boost if you were able to actively change settings while playing. The cold clipper stages in amps like the JCM800, SLO, 5150 and Rectifiers happen downstream and this switch would have no impact on that at all. [/QUOTE]
