Re: Catagory 5 Joe B JUB Combo

Have you played around w/ the volumes, how does it sound at "bedroom" volumes?

This is straight 50w, i.e. it's not a 50/25?  For some reason in my head I thought it was switchable like the jubs.

Is there a footswitch to switch channels?

It is a 50 watt but with a power knob on the back instead of the switch on Marshall Jubs. Oh yes a foot switch. If you like the Marshall Silver Jub you will Love the Catagory 5 Joe B Jub.

Yes there is a footswitch.  It uses a standard guitar cable for the cord, but any marshall style one button switch will work as well.

Wow that looks amazing.

I'm still a bit confused, however.  The power knob on the back allows you to change the output from 50 to 25 or is it just a power knob (on/off)?

Either way I WANT ONE!

Congrats again.

Just wish Category 5 would update their web site; esp on the 'signature' model lines that just says details coming soon, and that's been like that for more than a year now.

Hey Guys-update coming soon-been slammed building amps.  Just email me don@category5amps.com.  The power knob takes it from 0 to 50 watts, so you can dial it down.  Its really for stge volume changes, but you can dial a good bedroom tone in with it and the other masters in this amp.

Don,

Thanks for the follow-up and clarification on the "knob."

Hopefully i'll be able to get into contact after tax time. smile
