Yeah, looking at boutique gear can give a fella some bad sticker-shock.

Any amp can be turned down, but the thing that makes a tube amp worth owning is the way it sounds when you turn it way up.

Some amps (I think Seymor Duncan is one brand) have a triode/pentode switch that changes the screen grid connection, dropping the power by 1/2 or more.
