[TowerTalk] TowerTalk Digest, Vol 254, Issue 2

[Steve Harrison]

The rear switch is to be used to shut off the amp completely so it can't
even be turned on remotely. The front switch is for "local control", as
is the switch on the remote control console.

And yes, this Q might have been more appropriate if asked in onna the
"Amp" forums...

The assembled multitude are knowledgeable guys in the hobby and clearly, one member of the forum could  supply a reasonable, intelligent answer.  ... and FYI - I too have an amp that functions in that manner so the answer was of interest to me as well.
