So while I'm waiting for my amp to return with the half power mod I keep daydreaming about it. I'm wondering how the mod works. Does it take two of the power tubes out of the circuit? Is there a fixed resistance/attenuation added? Some other mechanism? Trade secret?

It's most likely a proprietary design by Doc. The Remedy and Z-Lux both use all four tubes in half-power mode. Both those amps are 4 x 6V6 designs. I'll speculate that the ZW half-power is based on what Doc came up with for the DB-4 and probably continues to use all four tubes.

Just an adapted 1/2 power design , same as used on the Remedy and Z Lux. An Excellent Original design, if I say so myself > Z
