Bright switches

Hootsmon

On a hundred amps...

Anybuddy ever find much use for this function?

I was a wonderin' why so many are clipped....sort of a thing

Yes. They're particularly useful for clean sounds at low volumes, which can otherwise sound a bit dull.

'Clipping' (cutting to use the proper non-Americanism ) a bright switch is pointless since all you have to do is turn it off. Cutting a fixed bright cap can sometimes be useful if you're running the amp at low volume with a brighter-sounding overdrive, distortion or fuzz pedal since they tend to pass the frequencies which cause fizz and buzz.

If you think about the modern trend for playing at low volumes with 'transparent' overdrives it should be obvious why it's become 'a thing'...

I install them on some amps, it can transform the clean tones of high gain amps.

I like 'em. 

I loved the top end schwang I got from my Ecstasy on the blue channel. 

The one on the Friedman Smallbox also does a similar thing. 

They sound ace IMO. 

Like running an 800 at 6 on the preamp. It brightens up a lot and really lets the guitar character and pickups come through.

I tend to like the amp to be bright as well as too loud. That way the guitar controls come into play and give you finger tip control. Also being able to dig in and get more from a note is easier this way round. Those that like lots of overdrive and a compressed processes sound need not apply.

I run my clean channel with it on
