I read on another forum that there's a revision to the 3534 50w that includes some new switches. Has anyone else heard about this? I have found zero evidence for this online so I'm skeptical.
 
I've seen pics of it,unless it was ai.know nothing about yet tho
 
Yes- I had one I got new from Sweetwater right before the holidays

There are three new switches:

SB= changes where the presence frequencies are affected by the presence control
2/3 80's= adds clipping diodes to channels 2 and 3
3 Gain= changes the voicing on channel 3 from stock (101B), to higher md emphasis, or to lower mid emphasis

The really do add some more versatility to a sweet amp. I will say the SB switch did the least from what I could tell. It was very subtle.

I ended up sending the amp back after I picked up an open box XTC 20th Anniversary (6L6) from Sweetwater. The 50 watter was nice, 20th A was next level.

Here's a few pics of the amp I had:

I love this amp. Sounds killer. The switches allow me to get my tones and for that I am very happy. Killer little amp.
 
Just got one with new switches.. they do add a lot of extra tonal options, but the base tone even without using the new switching options is really good.
 
Wish I could find another one as I foolishly let mine go. Truly great amp.
 
having never tried either the 30 or 50 watt, is there a consensus (other than the 50 sounds bigger ;) )

I have owned the 25 watt version and the 30 watt version and now on my Second 50 with the added switches. I have a 104 as well as have owned the 100s, 101s and classics and many versions. The new 50 is really great and better to me than the earlier small versions. One of the best amps I have. Great loop,Great features, Great amp.
 
is there a fave speaker setup for you @tonedog ??
Creamback 65m in a Bogner1x12C cab is what gets the most use for me but it sounds great through my Marshall Hendrix 4X12 with the G12 C speakers which are a greenback variant and through the Bogner 2X12 I have loaded with V30s but the 1X12 with Creamback is awesome.

Do you play live and if so, how well does the updated 50 W XTC with the new switches cut in a live mix?
 
Not lately as my current band does not play out but I can tell you that in our band which is a four piece band I have no problem cutting through ever. Never an issue. We are not a metal band though. The most rocking tunes are Gary Moore's Parisienne Walkways and Vai's for the Love of Dog and Phillip Sayce's song Alchemy which is just a blues rock ballad. YMMV.
