urei 1176 question: no buttons in?

[Archie Macfarlane]

Hey, everyone talks about the urei 1176 and it's famed "all buttons in mode", but has anyone ever tried no buttons in to just get the tone of the input transformer and the circuit with no comp?
Thanks.

Sounds like you should try it!

But seriously, those input transformers in that unit are about as colorless as those things get.  If 'no button mode' does what you think it does, I doubt you'll hear anything different.
