 The [[AMT Electronics]] SS-11B "Modern" Tube Preamp Pedal is a remarkably complicated pedal. If the [[Dunlop_/_MXR|MXR]] [[Phase 90]] is one of the simplest pedals, with one knob, then the SS-11B is *almost* up there with the [[Boss]] [[DD-20]] in terms of complexity and configurability.

	Another interesting thing to note from the schematic below is that the Clean channel has a single amplification stage, then goes to tone shaping, and then a second amplification stage. The Crunch and Lead channels have all their amplification stages cascading into one another, and then tone shaping is done at the end. Some interesting food for thought for designers of preamps and amplifiers.

-So "It Depends..." is not a very confidence inspiring comment. However, whether or not phase inversion occurs actually depends on which channel setting you're using in the pedal. If we follow the signal paths, along with the switching, through the pedal, we get 2, 3, and 4 amplification stages depending on the channel picked.
