That`s probably why my ABM 600 sounded so pony when I accidentally had it on, doh, I never knew that either. I suppose this brings in two lessons for me -  Lesson One, read the manual, Lesson Two, turn it fully clockwise so that if I accidentally hit the switch I won`t panic as my amp has suddenly got hardly any output.

That’s a really dumb way of doing it!!!!! Who designed that?

Ive had a couple and never knew that - I just switched it straight off.....

after talking to Lee at Ashdown it looks like I'm completely wrong & it's my misunderstanding of how it worked , I was going by a youtube  review of  BTA400 .

after talking to Lee   the way to use it is to get the sound you like  with it & adjust the volume accordingly & leave it on ,  at gigging level I found at the 1 o'clock position really tightened up the bottom end & added a very pleasing punch along with the bass drum .
