SS15 15 Watt Combo Amplifier | Limited Run 2018

THIS ONE TOOK A LONG TIME...

It'll probably take just as long to describe but here's a start.

Controls are very simple. Volume, treble, bass, speed, and intensity both for the tremolo. There's also a gain switch that changes the sensitivity of the phase inverter. The idea here is that those 4 controls (vol, treb, bass, and gain) are completely interactive and aren't used just for their indicated function but as well as for changing the amp's headroom and distortion response. So at a certain point up the treble knob the bass will tighten up along with the amp getting brighter. The bass control is the same way. At a certain point on the control the low end will swamp out the top end and the perceived effect is the treble roll off - but at a different frequency than where the treble sits. At higher gain playing this eq totally changes the distortion tonality of the output section. More bass from the EQ will soften the attack and more treble will increase it. Volume will affect all of this because the amp will inherently have less low end at lower volumes and be brighter and clearer when the amp is clean. The gain switch is another layer to all of this. For a player who used a lot of pedals, the lower gain setting offers more headroom and more clarity. By design it also gives a wider sweep from the entire EQ thanks to the added headroom. The higher gain setting is for a more "guitar directly in to the amp feel" and allows the player to really control their amount of distortion and clean right from their picking hand and the volume control on the guitar.
