Fuchs has been a force to be reckoned with as far as guitar amplification is concerned. The Fuchs Overdrive Supreme 30
follows suit. Approaching its eighth year of production, the ODS30 is
designed to produce the widest range of tones possible, as required by
today's music. Favored by many guitarists, the ODS30 features classic
preamp circuitry, and a unique power supply, providing you with the
sounds you want at the volumes you need. Featuring an input gain control
to set the clean channel level and first drive level to the overdrive
stage, the features a variety of controls to amp up the gain and the
drive, as well as tone shaping switches to provide brite, deep, and
rock/jazz settings.
Here is what Fuchs has to say about the ODS 30:
"Approaching its eighth year of production, the Overdrive Supreme has received glowing reviews BOTH domestic and foreign publications. We recently received a very favorable review in Japan's Guitar Magazine, as well as Guitar Player
Magazine (February 2005). The ODs features a full time effects loop
which can handle both line and pedal level signals. It can be run in
series or parallel modes, and remains live, whether used as a line out
(to drive a mixer or sound system) or a line in (for guitar synth,
keyboard, drum machine, etc.). A spacious Accutronics 3-spring long
decay reverb pan is used for a natural warm, yet detailed reverb.
The clean channel has brite and deep switches, as well as a rock/jazz
switch, which changes the way the tone controls operate. Rock is a
more aggressive and punchy bright tone, which jazz is lean and
audiophile-like, being more balanced and smooth. There are passive high
mid and low controls. The high control pulls for a mid boost, the mid
control pulls for gain boost (which bypasses the tone controls). The
clean channel acts as a preamp to the overdrive channel, and the tone
controls and EQ switches are all active during overdrive use, including
all boosts.
The overdrive channel features separate OD in and OD out controls.
OD-in sets the level of saturation in overdrive, while the OD out
control sets the final balance between clean and dirty channels. There
is a global master volume, master reverb and accent control, which adds
presence and edge to the output stage.
The entire audio signal path is fully tube (except reverb). The ODS
features a regulated high voltage DC supply for lowest noise,
consistent tone despite line voltage variations, and also features
regulated DC preamp tube heaters for additional noise reduction. These
techniques are used in the finest audiophile and tube studio equipment,
and are unique to guitar amps.
The output stage features separate 4 and 8 ohm outputs, AC and standby switches, as well as a detachable IEC
power cord and external fuse. The chassis is made of aircraft grade
aluminum, finished in gold iridite for corrosion protection. We use a
combination of point to point and circuit board construction. All tubes
are chassis mounted, while the power and output transformers are
mounted directly to the chassis. By using single point grounding, the
amp is quiet and free of hum at all operating levels.
High current power transformers and audiophile grade output
transformers are standard, and are custom built to our specifications."
