Hey Sluggy,

I went from a 995 to a 1000 Yamaha and the newer style has more of an encoder volume know with -db settings as compared to the 995 that had a clock type 1/2 volume is going to get a knock on the door type knob. I noticed you can turn the thing like a full 360 before the volume starts getting loud but hey it keeps turning and getting louder. I think you can also program a pronto to go to preprogrammed volumes with the new Yamaha's also.
