OK, I've read so much on this board and TGP, with so much praise over the 5w mode. I tried ...and tried some more. Then tried other settings, really spending some time. Yup, no shortage of tries. I just can't get myself to play in 5w mode. Too thin, missing depth, gutted low end. Harmonics and complexity just absent ...ok, that's a bit harsh, so let's say "largely missing."
Keep in mind I love this amp and am really having a great time bonding with it so am not "complaining," per se. But as a feature, I find the 5watt mode useful only if super low-volume practice is dictated, but its tone is completely uninspiring, and so non-boogie-like. I have now resigned myself to the fact that it is a 25 watt amp and am much happier for it. Anyone else?
