On the Rebel 20 as well as the soon to be released Rebel 30 and Renegade 50 there's a wattage knob that allows you to scale up or down from 1 to 20 watts on the Rebel 20 and 1 to 30 or 50 on the Rebel 30 and Renegade 50 respectively. Is this a gimmick or does it truly reduce the amount of power to the tubes like an attenuator?
In other words it would make sense to me that if the wattage knob is set to say, 5 watts it would be relatively easy to get the tubes cooking for full on crunchy, raging distortion.
For example if I'm playing a gig and I'm mic'd through the house PA I would likely set the wattage knob to around 3-5 watts to ensure that I hit the sweet spot. This seems to be a hugely useable feature for gigging situation when you want to fully saturate the tubes.
Can anyone confirm if the wattage knob works in this fashion or does it simply reduce the volume by a slight amount?
The Renegade 50 has a 10 watt or 50 watt setting. Will the 10 watt setting truly give me the feeling of a 10 watt amp?
If so my pants are getting tight.
