See the Quad 34/44 message that I just forwarded to the list. I'll be 
looking for info on those amps.

That's how Yamaha used to do it. It was too complicated for most 
people -- you were expected to read a few sentences in the user 
manual! -- so I think they did away with it.

As I understand it, "presence" on guitar amps is (or at least it was 
originally) a control that reduced negative feedback, thus allowing 
the inherent distortion to come through. Thus, presence adds 
brightness in the form of distortion components.
