Hello! I bought a used Ceriatone Lightning about a year & 1/2 ago and really love the amp.  I had the amp for about a year before I accidentally found out the volume has a push-pull pot.  Since the amp didn't come with any kind of manual and there's no info on the web site, I was wondering if anyone might have any info available about other features that might not be immediately obvious?  Is the push-pull volume pot a custom order mod or is that standard, and what does it do, bypass the tone stack maybe?  I also read on another person's description of their Lightning that they have high and low input jacks, is that standard, and if so, which is which?  Any info would be of interest, how the tone controls work, etc. . . .

thanks for any info you may have,
Gray

Does it switch a bright cap?    I don't know anything about Matchless amps.   What does it sound like?   I would think if the push-pull by-passed the tone tone stack, wouldn't you be able to tell if the tone stack didn't work?
Maybe see what Matchless has on their site.

It should when pulled out be a master volume, when pushed in it is bypassed.. That's how my dizzy 30 works.... As far as I know it doesnot bypass the tone stack... I might be wrong considering I'm baseing this off of my amp,
#1 input is usualy high farthest to the left
#2 input is usualy low

I'm in the market for a lightning
