Reliability: 8
Besides dirt getting in the pull gain, 999999 times out of a 1000000 it will turn on.

To hell with gigging, or cabinet materials, hardware, or electronics. Brother, if there's anything that screams amp reliability to me, its a pull-gain knob turning on 999,999 times out of 1,000,0000 - even when subjected to dirt!!! I do, however, have to wonder if that statistic came from actual "field-testing". Also - when you're becoming one of the greatest guitarists of all time, doesn't this seem unnecessary? I mean, you could get in a lot of practice in the time it takes to pull a knob in and out 1,000,000 times.

LSD? Yeah, that'd be my guess, too.
