- A series of switches complete the possibility of shaping the sound:
Jazz / Rock Mode
Jazz mode:
-
Slightly rolls off the high frequencies for a smoother tone.
-
Cuts some low end and scoops the mids.
-
Cleaner, more open and less compressed sound.
Rock mode:
-
Restores bright, energetic high frequencies.
-
Delivers a more aggressive and powerful tone compared to Jazz mode.
-
Thicker, more saturated and dynamic overdrive.
PAB (Preamp Boost)
PAB mode modifies the amp’s tone stack to deliver a louder, more aggressive and clearer sound — especially ideal for solos.
It works across all modes: Jazz, Rock, Clean and Overdrive.
Bright Switch
The Bright switch accentuates mid-high frequencies, delivering a brighter, more defined and detailed tone.
Perfect for adding presence and clarity to your sound.
Valve Buffered Effects Loop
The SuperDrive features a valve-buffered effects loop, designed to preserve signal integrity and warmth.
It includes a switch to activate/deactivate the loop and a send level control, allowing perfect interfacing with any pedals or rack-mounted effects.
This feature ensures your tone remains rich and dynamic, even with complex effects chains.
