Yes, past 9 o'clock the distortion happens on the note attack and the harder the note is hit the distortion kinda farts or flaps for lack of better terms lol. And louder you turn it the distortion compresses but still happens on the attack its just more uniform. But yes, the distortion goes away while the note is still hanging.

I haven't read the voltages yet, I would feel comfortable reading the voltages while the amp is on I know precautions to take so not to get hurt but I would need instruction is all.

I believe my amp to be one of the very early ones, it has the metal front with two fuses on the front one on either side of the on off switch. Guess only way to know for certain is to check pot date codes? or is there other indicators I should look for.
