The first stereo amp I ever bought back in the early 1970s had that. It
was an Alba (the model number was something like "UA700") and it had two
volume controls. You set one as a kind of preset maximum volume, and
then the other was used in day-to-day listening; as you turned it down
from max, it gradually boosted the bass and treble, so it was in effect
a "variable loudness button".
