You last sentence doesn't make sense?
Clear as mud his was. I'm thinking the choke diminishes sag and he is stating when the amp is pushed hard the choke will contribute to sag...?

Paolo describes what I found to be true with mine. I may have my choke removed and go back to how the amp was. Then it seemed to break out into musical feedback readily where now I really have to coax it into doing so and then it doesn't sing like it did. I don't know... Something I have been thinking about for awhile now.

He pretty much lost me with the tongue thing right off the bat though to be honest.
