CONGRATS! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy my KSR 
I picked up an ARES 50 a little over a month or so ago, and it is just an awesome amp. I was playing it yesterday thinking what a nasty, brutal, aggressive voicing this thing has; I absolutely love it so far. Looking around the amp too, it is built REALLY REALLY well; I've never communicated with Kyle, but his pride truly shows up in his work IMO.
The ARES has the crunch switch your talking about, and I messed with it for the first time last week. Its does affect the gain structure as you stated and from my noodling around, I actually like it quite a bit for classic rock stuff. Definitely still a fairly saturated gain structure and not what a purest would consider for classic rock , but oh so fun to play
Enjoy the shit out of it man, and do report back with your detailed thoughts

They make great amps, one of the best high gain builders out there.

Kyle should be selling his amps like hot cakes. Top five amp for sure.
