Im looking at a 50 Cal combo, but was wondering what the differences are between the "50 Cal" and "50 Cal Plus".

see, thats what I thought too. But the local shop has a plain 50 Cal w/ the eq. Comparing the pics it it with a 50 plus, the only difference is in the 3 switches on the right side of the panel. The plain 50 has metal toggle switches while the 50 plus has black switches of a different style. Since my first post I also noticed the 50 plus has an extra knob. Not sure what it is for as the pic is too small.

Im not doubing your knowledge, Im just confused by what Im seeing in the pics, unless one of my sources are incorrect.

ok, I got off my lazy ass and found the manuels on line. The difference is:

1. the 50 plus came standard w/ an eq, but was an option on the original 50 Cal. So, the one Im looking to buy had the eq option as an "extra"

2. the 50 Plus has a Lead Master volume control in addition to the master. Which kinda makes me want to look for the Plus.
