Cruise 5-100 watt amp

>The Cruise MQ4 amps handle multiple power issues differently and more elegantly than the other multi-wattage amps I am familiar with.

>A front-panel-mounted 8-way wattage selector gives you selections ranging from 5w to 100w. Pseudo class A at 5, 15 and 50, AB at the other settings.

>A series of relays is used to change plate voltages and pentode/triode status of the 4xEL34 output tubes. There are no impedance issues, and you achieve changes in tonal characterstics as well as volume characteristics.
