TM40 remembers Power Soak setting?

Hello,

Looking at buying a TubeMeister 40 Deluxe, but I have one question that owners out there might be able to answer please.

When the amp is turned off (fully) and then back on again, does it remember the power soak setting from the previous use? I see the TM20 has a rotary knob so it will always remember, but the 40 has push buttons that I think can be controlled by MIDI.

Just don’t want to have to go round the back every time I turn it on, since I will use the same setting most of the time.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Pablo. I'm getting rusty on some of this stuff as I don't use my own GM36 too often nowadays but, that aside, I'll tell you what I remember and if I'm wrong then someone else more current can correct me.

The Power Soak settings are stored as part of each preset, that much is certain, it's in the manual. The last preset used is the one restored when the amp is started up again so the PS setting should therefore be restored as part of that.

Ok, thanks. Makes sense that it wouldn’t return to full power every time, or your ears might be at risk...

You can set the power soak globally or per patch. I'm running per patch and have the power level at 20w when on a clean or a crunch channel. The lead or ultra I leave at 5w, in the studio but you get the idea.
You can raise the associated levels if you leave the studio to go jam, rehearse or gig.

Here's the manual excerpt:

Heads up: Why a Global Power Soak? Many GrandMeister 36 users
wanted this mode, which is why GrandMeister Deluxe 40 now comes
with this feature on board. Global Power Soak mode has the following
advantage when activated via the app or on the amp itself: all Power Soak
settings stored in the presets are ignored and the amp works globally for
all sounds and presets with your choice of setting, from 40 watts down
to 1 watt. This comes in handy, for example, if you want to practice at
home at a low volume regardless of the levels programmed in the presets
for your live setup.
