I had noticed it was sounding completely different from one time to the next even though it was hooked up the same. Well what I was missing was that in-between those occasions I had been using the amp by-itself in different ways so it was set on a different channel and mode than before and I originally wasn't even aware that I had a presence knob in-play and it was set at a completely different spot than before.
Using that "master-presence" allows preamp pedals into the return to have a whole new level of performance and versatility.
The same principal applies in the RevG Rectifier circuits when you clone red-to-vintage and then run the amp in the red channel. It gives you a presence at the end of the preamp as normal in their high-gain modes, but it also gives you an additional presence near the power-amp section. They also have different values to go along with the different placements, so doors open-up for the vintage high-gain that takes you somewhere between recto vintage and recto modern. Of course the Stiletto and 3-channel Rectifiers never did this "trick".
