Would like to use it with a smaller amp that will take 15 Watts swing. I am presently using a stock Magnum S-3 that only swings about 15 Watts with the Topgun Modulator off and power control turned all the way down and it works fine. Answers appreciated.   Patzerozero Senior Member Username: Patzerozero Post Number: 3361 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Tuesday, November 07, 2006 - 7:54 pm:        variable power to low seems to be 3 or less on most i've seen. topgun on or off, turn the mic gain down & swing drops to whatever you need. you can go pretty low before any noticeable drop in audio, & from what i've been told, that cleans up the signal somewhat as well-if it's a concern. my S9 didn't meet specs out of the box-hi or low. after a tweak or 2, it'll key from 1-12, & swing to almost 40 PEP, about 17-18 rms swing. by adjusting the mic gain, it'll swing as low as i need it, for any amp. out of the box it was a tough match to smaller amps, now with a wider range of adjustment, it's pretty flexible.
