Here's what I noticed: Transformer input Feedback switch down or off (I presume) normal. with Switch up or "on" the volume decreases a lot.
OTL input: with feedback switch down (off-right?) sounds better to me . When I place the feedback up (on) I notice the left side shift to the right a bit but not as much as I notice the change of the proximity of the bass. It's almost as if someone threw a low cut of hi pass filter in the chain.
I'd like to know why this occurs. Does it actually suppose to be this way? I don't know, maybe some sources sound better this way. If not, why the hell is there a feedback switch?
I guess what I'm asking is "Why is there a feedback switch if it kills the sound (most people seem to never use it) and why or when would someone use it?
Thanks...
