5e3 crosstalk

Is it common for one channel to crosstalk in to the other channel?

Obviously, I'm a novice to this style of amp.

Please explain what you mean? If you mean is it normal for both volume knobs in interact and affect both channels on your 5E3, then yes this is totally knormal. The tone knob is also shared between both channels. This is the design of the 5E3 circuit.

Yes keith.
If plugged in to bright channel with volume down, for example, the normal channel volume will bleed in the low end of the guitar signal. It sounds like jumping the channel through a low pass filter.

Sounds familiar? Is this "knormal"?

It's normal.

It's the beauty of beast. It's a pretty knarly, knob, knormality. Kneat eh?

Yeah.. I do like it as a feature.. No jumper cable necessary...
Thanks all.
