AMT Electronics SS-11A Classic Guitar PreampWhile creating SS-11 we were guided by the motto - minimum size with maximum functionality for full tube overdrive with the highest quality components. The SS-11 is brother to the SS-20, but with added controls and increased flexibility. The SS-11 is available in two different versions, the A (Classic) and the B (Modern) versions. Both these versions have the same pedal layout, controls, and specifications; however the gain structure and voicing is slightly different between the two.
The SS-11A Classic version is designed to cover all the classic jazzy, overdrive, and rock sounds of vintage tube amplifiers. The gain circuitry is slightly less aggressive than the SS-11B. However, don't misjudge the A unit. It has plenty of bite and dirt, as seen in the demo videos. The SS-11A is a perfect choice for the guitarist who wants to cover everything!
AMT Electronics SS-11A Classic Guitar Preamp Features:Fully tube-based 4 - stage overdrive channel with DUAL TUBE design (2x12AH7 tubes) with high-voltage anode voltage (+300 V).
Three separate channels: CLEAN / OVERDRIVE / LEAD - Individual gain sensitivity and output level controls for clean and crunch/lead channels.
TREBLE SHIFT toggle switch to enter bright mode for that added punch of high end.
FX LOOP for external effects.
OUTPUT jack for connecting to both specialized guitar amplifiers with a standard level of 0 dB (GUITAR AMP mode) and a CAB SIM MIXER out with a standard level of -10dB and a guitar cabinet simulation.
The preamp outputs are equipped with sophisticated solid-state buffers.
SS-11 incorporates new field-effect transistor-based guitar cabinet impulse response emulator processing. Improved naturalness of sound when connected to line input.
Special attention was paid to transistors anode power quality: preamp uses a specially designed high-voltage transformer minimizing the penetration of impulse noises into amplified signal.
