Practically in mint condition, works perfectly and sounds fantastic!
From the manufacturer:
=================
«Bright» switch for Crunch channel
Single 2-color LED instead of 2
Updated Clean channel EQ for better sound quality of standard and drop tunings.
More saturated sound of the Lead channel due to added even harmonics.
New CabSim with improved articulation.
The SS-11B Modern version is designed to cover the sounds of today’s high gain tube amplifiers. Offering more gain, the SS-11B is a rock-metal monster! The tone of the SS-11B (Modern) works perfectly for heavy riffing, drop tuned guitars, 7 strings, and screaming lead work.
Features of SS-11 Design:
Fully tube-based 4 – stage overdrive channel with DUAL TUBE design (2x12AX7 tubes) with high-voltage anode voltage (+300 V).
Three channels: CLEAN / OVERDRIVE / LEAD
Individual gain sensitivity and output level controls for clean and crunch/lead channels.
TREBLE SHIFT toggle switch to enter bright mode for more high end.
Buffered FX LOOP for external effects.
OUTPUT jack for connecting to both specialized guitar amplifiers with a standard level of 0 dB (GUITAR AMP mode) and a CAB SIM MIXER out with a standard level of -10dB and a guitar cabinet simulation.
The preamp outputs are equipped with sophisticated solid-state buffers.
SS-11 incorporates new field-effect transistor-based guitar cabinet impulse response emulator.
Special attention was paid to transistors anode power quality: preamp uses a specially designed low noise high-voltage transformer.
Description of SS-11 Channels:
LEAD channel provides thick viscous sound for playing both chunky rhythm parts and singing solos with excellent presence. TREBLE SHIFT toggle to take your lead sound into bright mode, similar to the good old “Treble Booster” pedals in the 80’s that guitarists used to enhance their solos.
OVERDRIVE channel features a more open structure of the sound. This is the SS-11’s sweet spot! VERY tubey and saturated sounding, much like that of the classic tube amps of the 70’s and 80’s! Wide range of sensitivity adjustment results in the sound starting from light crunch to thick and bright lead channel-like sound. Natural tube tone. If you’re looking for something other than that dull-sounding solid-state OD or TS clone sound, then THIS IS IT.
CLEAN channel focuses on crystal clarity clean sound. Low, Mid, and High controls for tweaking your sound; as well as and TREBLE SHIFT toggle for enhancing high end response.
