Description
When it comes to Bluesy cleans and fat lead tones, the Vertex Effects Steel String Supreme (Slight Return Edition) – based on serial #001 of a legendary six-figure Dumble Steel String Singer – is the only tone shaper you’ll need in your arsenal. Whether you’re front-ending a stage amp with the Supreme expanded all-analog preamp, feeding a little D-style sugar into your Amp Modeler, or even running straight into a Cab Simulator/IR Loader, this pedal is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Just like the amp it’s named after, the Steel String Supreme (Slight Return Edition) is characterized by a fat and glassy tones sound that absolutely marinates signals in tubelike harmonics as you ramp up the gain. The Slight Return Edition’s active EQ and Bright/Deep + Rock/Jazz switches add new tone-shaping capabilities from the original SSS and bring you a bit more available top end “glass” and a little more low-end “Snap” to this latest addition to the Steel String family. From subtle fattening and clean compression to full-on overdrive, the Vertex Effects Slight Return Edition is the next best thing to having the real-deal SSS in your rig.
Players like Eric Johnson, John Mayer, and Santana have all sung the praises of a rare 100-watt 6L6 blues machine that achieved legendary status in the mid-1980s. And whether it’s the ultimate cleans that you’re searching for or a lead tone with slight overdrive but tons of BODY the Vertext Steel String Supreme (Slight Return Version – successor to the Steel String MKI Slight Return Version is packing 500% more tone-shaping potential – faithfully captures that “SSS” (that’s “Sparkle, Squish, and Saturation”) magic in a pedalboard-friendly stomp.
