Had to look that one up. Wasn't sure except it dropped the gain, but now I get it.

What a cool feature -- three stages of gain.

That’s a cool switch. Whole amp feels different even at similar gain levels. Highest gain with the gain down a few notches does not feel like the mid gain with the gain turned up to match. I think it’s changing the bias of one of the preamp tubes. Maybe. It’s a cool feature regardless of how it’s doing it.

It changes the cathode bypass cap on the 2nd gain stage of the BE channel between none and 2 different cap/resistor combinations
