Tone control/Voice switch of Drive series pedals
Hello, I wrote you a message about a month ago, but I asked you really too many things for a single Faq, so I'm asking you in this one:
what exactly does the Tone control of your Drive series pedals do? And what does the Voice switch do?
Thank you very very much!

Tone control allows you to balance the mids and treble, and Voice move the boundary of this balance above and below, which increases the flexibility of configuration and adaptation to different types of clean-channels.

We did not try to set such tubes. But if the same pinout and heater voltage is the same, then try it.
Question:
Amt ss_20
В моем AMT SS-20 две перемычки, одна для замены ламп с 12AX7 на 6Н2П-ЕВ. А за что отвечает вторая перемычка. Куплено в конце 2010 года.

Эта перемычка изменяет некоторые нюансы звучания в высокочастотной области.

Question:
about the types about AMT SS-11B knobs
Hello, It seems that there're two different types of knobs, one looks like cylinder, another is like long-egg something. Is it mean that there's another difference between two models?

it is possible to mod the amt ss11a to use two the different types of output (“to mix” and “to amp”) at the same time?
Thanks

SS-11 has only one output connector, and therefore probably without breaking the appearance it can not be implemented.
Question:
AMT SS-30
I'd like to purchase the fabulous SS-30 that it really sounds great!!
I'm using Carl Martin Octaswitch MKII which can put the preamp in between the drive pedals and modulation/delay pedals.
I'm wondering if I can use the SS-30 to replace the preamp of the real amp head. As the Octaswitch MKII features a amp channel switch that operate via a stereo jack (I've been using it with JCM 2000), I'd like to know if it's possible to use stereo jack to switch the channel of SS-30 from clean to drive channel????

Switch channels of the SS-30, using an external footswitch is impossible.

a. use the output of SS-11 in mode TO MIX
or
b. SEND SS-11 -> INPUT VOX. On your amp LOW and TREBLE controls set to the minimum, MID - to the maximum.

1. SS-11 must be connected to the RETURN jack to your amplifier.
2. You can:
a. use the output of SS-11 in mode
TO MIX
b. Apply AMT TS-2 True Selector to switch between the SS-11 preamp and preamp of your amplifier.
AMT SS-20 Configuration
Hi, The write ups and videos online make the SS-20 look very impressive but there is no where locally to test for myself.
My amp has both series and parallel effects loops. Which would be best to hook up the SS-20 ?
Also I have a Boss GT-8 with many presets I have built up for my gigging set up. Can I put the GT-8 through the send and returns of the SS-20 ? or suggestions on connections ?
Thanks

SS-20 connect to RETURN of the serial loop of your amp.
Boss GT-8 connect through the SEND / RETURN pedal SS-20.

Yes, you can use this connection, but you must switch the mode selector of the loop (to see it, you need to remove the back cover) to the "parallel" (P)
Question:
Tube cake impedance
Will the tube cake have any issues, or tone differences, using a16 ohm cab?
Or should it ONLY be used with an 8 ohm cab?
Thanks

Brandon, 26.06.2012 08:23:47
All the characteristics of the Tube Cake calculated using an 8-ohm load. Therefore, we can say that it should ONLY be used with an 8-ohm cab.

Hello AMT,
I cannot test this pre amp in a store because they don't have it. The only way is ordering online.
But my question is:
Can I connect the ss-11 to my guitar amp front input?
Guitar > effects > SS11 > Guitar amp front input.
Thank you.

Yes you can, but the switch type of output should be in position "TO MIX" (not "TO AMP"!)

The total consumption of all these pedals do not exceed the maximum current the adapter so that you can.
Question:
Combining SS-20 with another tube distortion
Hello! Your products rock! I am experimenting with my pedals and I am concerned if there is any danger on how you line up different tubes.
Until now, I used SS-20-(*send Dreamscape & The Hog *return)-> TC-3 -> Mesa 1x12 cab. Now that I got a Blackstar HT Drive (which sports a 12Ax7 valve and has buffered bypass) what is the most proper placement in my rig?
Thanks!

Using SS series pre-amps with iPhone
I am wondering if it is possible to use the SS preamps with Ampkit or Amplitube on the iPhone. Specifically, I was thinking about using the two iPhone apps for FX and speaker emulation for output to headphones.
I was thinking the connection would go:
guitar > SS Preamp > FX Send > Apogee Jam (or maybe Ampkit Link HD being released) > iPhone > Ampkit FX (e.g., reverb, delay) > Ampkit Speaker Emulation > Headphones
Another possibility to use AmpKit/Amplitube for FX only but still use headphones might be:
guitar > SS Preamp > FX Send > Ampkit Link HD > iPhone > Ampkit FX (e.g., reverb, delay) > Ampkit Link HD (it has a Line out) > AMT Chamelon > Headphones
Any thoughts on these setups? Has anybody used the SS pre-amps with either of these iPhone apps?
I've listened to a lot of youtube videos and samples on the SS series and I must say that I am very impressed. Aside form the tone and flexibility of course, I especially like the FX Send/Return feature. Well done!

Unfortunately, we did not test AMT SS-20 with the use of Plug-in.
In any case, follow the rules of matching signal levels tested devices and experiment. We are very grateful if you share with us experiences.

Hi, I am very impressed about the sound of all your preamp pedals, they are Awesome.

Question:
Use Cab Sim on F1

Scott, 28.04.2012 11:31:09
You need to toggle the switch to "CAB.SIM" and connect the "OUTPUT" F-1 with a line-in sound card on your computer. If there is no sound, check your sound card and an F-1, using another available equipment. If you find that does not work CAB.SIM F-1, please contact the store where you bought the pedal for the repair or replacement.
