Vertex Steel String Supreme SRV (Slight Return Version) Vertex

“SSS” HEADS TO AUSTIN, TEXAS!

When it comes to SRV D*style (Dumble) amp tones, the Vertex Effects Steel String Supreme SRV — based on serial #001 of a legendary six-figure tube amp — is the only tone shaper you’ll need in your arsenal.  Taken from their original SSS design (Steel String Supreme) with an altered EQ section to make it a little more “Texas” with a a bigger low end snap, and more top end chime a la SRV.  Whether you’re front-ending a stage amp with the SRV’s expanded all-analog preamp, feeding a little Texas sugar into your modeling device, or even running straight into a cab IR, this pedal is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Just like the amp it’s named after, the “SSS” SRV not only looks like SRV’s Dumble Amp, but has the same fat, clean, compressed sound that absolutely marinates the signals in tube- like harmonics. The SSS SRV active EQ and Bright/Deep + Rock/Jazz switches add all new tone-shaping capabilities from the standard SSS as the latest addition to the Steel String family. From Lenny to Texas Flood, the Vertex Effects SSS SRV is the next best thing to having a real-deal Dumble SSS in your rig.

BASED ON THE ORIGINAL DUMBLE STEEL STRING SINGER (SSS)

Players like SRV, Eric Johnson, and John Mayer have all sung the praises of a rare 100-watt 6L6 blues machine that achieved legendary status in the mid-1980s. And whether its a sip of that Texas tonal flood or the intoxicating Lenny cleans that you’re searching for, the Vertex Steel String Supreme SRV — 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.

D-STYLE CLEANS WITH GLASS AND SNAP

With gain settings below 1:00, the SRV makes a highly versatile fat boost, with an active EQ section to dial in that D-style midrange shaping your instrument demands. Above 1:00, the SRV sweetens your signal with vine-ripened drive characteristics matured in the Texas sun. Wide open, this pedal packs enough juicy gain to take you well into overdrive territory. All the while, true bypass operation preserves your dry signal whenever you don’t have the SRV engaged — though, if you’re anything like us Stevie Ray fanatics, it’s pretty much a nonissue, since you’ll never want to turn this thing off. The SRV is assembled in California and comes in a rugged steel housing with authentic D-style appointments resembling Stevie Ray’s Dumble Steel String Singer.
