[HAM] New B-3 Questions (was why are tonewheels superior?)

[bvb2b3]

It's been a couple years since I last played a New B-3 and I've forgotten some of it's details.  Could someone elaborate on what "dial-in" tone adjustment is available on the New B-3?

As I recall reading about the New B-3 when introduced, it was said to be able to sound like almost any tonewheel, from the Model A to a late B-3.  What capability did that mean besides adjusting the foldback (or having no foldback) and having 2 or 3 overall tone selections with names resembling something like "brite", "b-3 type", etc. to choose from?

Has anyone tried adjusting a New B-3 to sound like a BC or other tonewheel besides a B-3, and been able to really duplicate it?

Thanks.
Bill

Not really, since you can dial-in just about any tone you want an a New 
B-3.  <snip>
