Probably for the Doc to answer...

Is the rotary tone knob a continuously variable turning knob...like a Ghia?

Or does the knob 'click' into place? (and you get that sound, and only the cut is used from then on.) Meaning there are no 'in between' tones? (you can't select...say...1.5)

"Every note sounds like you're rattling a bunch of tin cans and old chicken bones around inside a plastic paint bucket."...Flealux

I'm not playing the gig for the money....but don't try to screw me on the money.

Hey John - if you go back to the Paisley video - when he is first demoing the rotary function you can actually hear it clicking as he takes it back to position one. My guess is it is discrete settings and not variable.

A "couple" Zs

GuitarZ: Carrying batteries for backup in the gig bag is great until you realize you can't free one of those little CR2032 buggers without a pair of scissors. And, that's after you free it from the outer packaging.
