A Master Volume/BYPASS switch completely bypasses the Master Volume section allowing incredible levels of gain and sustain to be achieved. OP mode switch cut the amp's Output Power level in half (30 > 15 on the AC30, 15 > 7.5 on the AC15) allowing higher levels of saturation to be achieved at lower volumes.
The last flight of a Block 4 booster was in June 2018. Since then all boosters in the active fleet are Block 5. Booster names are a B followed by a four-digit number. The first Falcon 9 version, v1.0, had boosters B0001 to B0007. All following boosters were numbered sequentially starting at B1001, the number 1 standing for first-stage booster.
Each Block 5 booster is designed to fly ten times with only minor maintenance between launches and potentially up to 100 times with periodic refurbishment. In 2018, Block 5 succeeded the transitional Block 4 version. The maiden flight of the Block 5 launched the satellite Bangabandhu-1 on May 11, 2018.
When stacked and fully fueled, Starship has a mass of approximately 5,000 t (11,000,000 lb), [c] a diameter of 9 m (30 ft) [12] and a height of 121.3 m (398 ft). [13] The rocket has been designed with the goal of being fully reusable to reduce launch costs; [14] it consists of the Super Heavy booster and the Starship upper stage [15] which are powered by Raptor and Raptor Vacuum engines.
Solid boosters are cheaper to design, test, and produce in the long run compared to the equivalent liquid propellant boosters. [citation needed] Reusability of components across multiple flights, as in the Shuttle assembly, also has decreased hardware costs. [5] One example of increased performance provided by SRBs is the Ariane 4 rocket.

The Graphite-Epoxy Motor (GEM) is a family of solid rocket boosters developed in the late 1980s and used since 1990. GEM motors are manufactured with carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer casings and a fuel consisting of HTPB-bound ammonium perchlorate composite propellant.
