After reading heaps of posts I have come upon the conclusion that Most Dr. Z amps have tone controls where they are at max level at high noon. Anything beyond that increases gain. Is this the case with the Galaxie?

I guess my take is that they impact tone past noon as well. Most tone stacks throw away gain as they are turned back to zero, and this is true on the Galaxie too, but what you may have noticed is how sensitive and interactive the tone controls are on this amp. The manner in which they impact the gain and midrange in particular is nothing short of the best. I have not had any amp that just a touch any direction will dial in the sweet spot for any guitar in use. For me, this is one of the main reasons I find this amp so good. Oh yeah, and channel 2!

Is this the case with the Galaxie? Now that I have a moment. The Z28, KT-45, and Route 66 have a modified Bandaxall tone stack that works as you described. The Galaxie is late '50's Fender tweed Super/Pro/Low power Twin circuit. If your looking for a killer tweed type amp this is one of the best as far as I'm concerned. The hot channel is a totally different beast however. All gain All day. The master volume is a great option too. rp

Having owned a Galaxie 2X10 combo for awhile, I would say that yes, going past noon on the tone control definitely adds to the gain structure. Volume and tone are interactive on that amp...that's the way it's designed.
