The Edge has had the same AC30 since the band started off. And Brian May has a signature model from Vox that has a single volume knob.

Interesting! He probably likes a specific voicing and only needs a volume knob to control the level of power amp saturation. I also heard his guitar he always uses is a one off built from scratch by him and his dad.

Lol. His actual amp is a AC30TBX that had the non-Normal channels removed.

hmmm... perhaps to get rid of extra circuit he didn't use?

Nope. More gain.

I Wonder why it added gain when the channel was removed? Are you talking about gain in the pre amp? It would make sense for the guitar signal to be stronger if it has less circuit to pass through even if it's just a tone sucking wah or an extra 20' guitar cable. Also it seems that the stronger signal would translate first to the pre amp effectively overloading it even more. I'm certainly not a tech so thats just an uneducated guess.

I believe the signal is cascaded into the unused portion of the preamp...or I'm totally off.

The Edge is 'good?'
