Paul: As always, thanks for the fine tuning.

The dots and the dashes are simply what the manufacturer, Kurz-Kasch, was producing at any given time.

Sounds like you're talking about Morse code.

Hey Dan, I'm also a fan of the new Kustom 36 Coupe amps.

Maybe they've been sending us secret embedded messages all these years. Ha!

Hello Gary. I wondered if anyone else liked them too like I do. One of the things or really two is the nice tube amp clean that you can get. The second part is the boost that you can set at any level you would like and call it up when ready with the footswitch.
The boost as you know is really cool as you can use it on the clean and dirty channel. Its also tonally transparent.
If you bought a pedal that did this it would cost you some big bucks just by itself. Add to it that is and american made tube amp and its hard to beat it for the money.
The reverb while not Fender lush is still much better than my Vox amp's reverb. I'm thinking of getting a 72 Coupe some day if they stay in production.

The Radio Shack type of knob are easy to spot when comparing with RIC style knobs: both the writing, as has been pointed out, & the fact that the RS knobs are clunkier, or coarser than the RIC knobs.
They look similar, but certainly not identical.

The Rick knobs are stock items, run in the same molds as the RS knobs. However, if you were to look at the new RS knob alongside a new Rick knob, you'd notice that the Rick knob's skirt is thinner, as it's been sanded down. Perhaps that's the less clunkiness you are seeing, Kevin.
