I'm giving the (Laney) Ironheart's wattage variant control a thumbs-up for matters pertaining to practicality. This means you can tame the Ironheart down to the lower wattage range for smaller performance venues (which includes your bedroom) if you wish to keep the volume in check without losing the power tubes saturation. However, there is a need to re-tweak your EQ once you do just that (not a drastic change, yes?); the amp's voicing would be affected by the different wattage levels. This is a mark of a good amp, one which responds to power (supply).

A belated thanks to the good people @ Sound Alchemy for the acquisition of this amp.

i wish all (big) amps have this feature
btw, vox valvetronix+ also have this feature. does it only applicable for tube (or hybrid) amps?
it's not an obligation, depends on the design features of the manufacturer. the wattage control works best with tube amps, solidstates won't need ione. if you wish for lesser 'power' from a solidstate, just lower the volume he he... :-)
