Boombox bass enhancer or loudness buttons

Unless you were playing a washed-out 7th generation cassette with Phil's levels too high, 99% of music played on boomboxes sounded better with the bass or loudness button activated.
So why not just make it the standard offering to begin with?
By pressing a button with a little red light on it, we were programmed to believe that we held some type of sound engineering expertise, thereby increasing the perceived value of a cheap ass piece of Sanyo or Panasonic plastic?
Ridiculous.

For years, when my buddies
For years, when my buddies flew in for annual High Sierra / Hornings / NYE / etc festivals, they would always stop at a Citcuit City or someplace to buy a new boom box (having the best bass response being the only criteria) for the rv or hotel room. Being "local," I would invariably inherit it. I had quite the collection.
I'm looking at one of the Sonys as I type this. Yes, it has MEAGBASS enabled.

Is it truly a boombox before that button gets pushed?

Good morning Mike -- good
Good morning Mike -- good philosophical question to start the day. I will ponder as I watch the Ravens take on the Jets. (Unfortunately my wife might have the respiratory thing going around, so I have orders to stay home and not go to the football / foodfest and thus not possibly endanger anyone's Thanksgiving. Bummer. I heard bacon wrapped shrimp is on the menu.)

I am the anti tone control
I am the anti tone control guy who believes that smiley faced EQ choices and loudness taint quality recordings. I even bypassed tone controls completely on one of my preamps to give it a cleaner sound
