AMT Electronics SS-11B "Modern" Tube Preamp Pedal
Controls
Image from Prymaxe website
- Switch 1 - "Output Select": When viewing the pedal straight-on, this switch is difficult to see as it is flush with the left-facing side. It can be found near the OUTPUT jack, opposite the RETURN jack. This switch toggles the function of the OUTPUT jack between -10 dB (for a standalone amplifier or another pre-amplifier), and + 4 dB (for a mixer or power amp).
Clean Channel
- Knob 1 - "Level":
- Knob 2 - "Low":
- Knob 3 - "Mid":
- Knob 4 - "High":
- Knob 5 - "Gain":
- Toggle 1 - "Bright":
- Footswitch 1 - "Clean/Drive": The Clean Channel is self-contained, and the Clean/Drive footswitch toggles between the Clean and Drive channels.
Drive Channel
The "Drive" channel is split into 2 "sub" channels, Crunch and Lead. Both Crunch and Lead share a common set of tone controls.
Drive "Crunch"
- Toggle 2 - "T.Shift": On/Off. Engaging this switch boosts middle and high frequencies in the Crunch channel.
- Knob 6 - "Level Cr.": Sets the output volume for the Crunch channel. Turning clockwise increases the volume.
- Knob 10 - "Gain Cr.": Sets the Distortion level for the Crunch channel. Clockwise increases the distortion.
Drive "Lead"
- Toggle 3 - "T.Shift": On/Off. Engaging this switch boosts middle and high frequencies in the Lead channel.
- Knob 11 - "Level Lead": Sets the output volume for the Lead channel. Clockwise increases volume.
- Knob 12 - "Gain Lead": Sets the Distortion level for the Lead channel. Turning clockwise increases the distortion.
- Knob 7 - "Low":
- Knob 8 - "Med":
- Knob 9 - "High":
- Footswitch 2 - "Crunch/Lead": When the Drive channel has been selected, this footswitch toggles between the Crunch (less gain) and Lead (more gain) channels.
Jacks
- Input - "Input":
- Effects Out - "Send":
- Effects In - "Return":
- Output - "Output":
Bypass: Unknown
It it currently unknown if the SS-11B bypasses true, or buffered. We suspect it is true bypass.
