If you have a 4-band 16, the switch on the side cuts the bass compensation in and out of the volume control circuit. Why they did that...I have no idea. Seems rather silly to me.

LOL, well, I have not done anything with that chassis yet, other than put it in its new home - a 144B cathedral cabinet. Maybe this winter. Now that Fall is here, I have been trying to finish up a few cabinet refinish jobs before the cold weather sets in. I will be refinishing one more this season, and the rest will have to wait until next year.
