This type of amp and music is in my wheelhouse for the type of playing I lean towards. This sounds stellar. Great job to all involved

I can attest to just how good the Level control is.

Frankie, thanks. Keith, the amp can go over the place with different shades of gain. You can make it bite, but it's kind of always smooth and musical.
Russel, maybe a funny story to share... Doc sent me the amp said "I just want you to mess around with it for while". Talked to him about a week later and we kind of went through it control by control, right to left, what I heard and his explanation of the control. When we got the last one, level, I said something like "it doesn't really do anything". I had mostly been using it DI from the amp with an IR and in that situation in particular, the tone and feel of the amp really doesn't change at all. Paraphrasing, Doc says "that's the whole point, dummy". It's a lot harder to tell how well that works through a cab when you turn it up and your ears change, the cab starts resonating, and the speakers do whatever the heck they do to affect the sound at different volumes. To your point though, yes the level control, or master if you want to look at that way, just works perfectly.
Back to the video for a second, whenever I've heard that song over the last decades, that amp just sounds blistering loud, and probably was. I think it still sounds that way in the vid, but it's really quite quiet. I didn't mess with it to see how low I could go, it just sounded decent and was pretty quiet so I went with that. And maybe for reference, when we did the original amp demo and I was tracking the drums, the db meter on my watch was peaking around 108db from about 10' away compared to the guitar right in front of the amp at 78db peak. Should have one more decent amp vid in a while, but it's a process (commitment from a couple other players, but they have to learn the stuff, we have to track the stuff, mix it, edit video, etc.). Hopefully none of that falls through.
