Artesound SuperDrive 50W 2-Channel amp, with Active FX loop.

Artesound SuperDrive 50W is a Dumble Style amplifier based on RFords #102 cirquit, with an added active tube effects loop. The amplifier has an very rustic antiqued finish in larch wood.

- 2 channels in 'cascade' .

- The clean channel has great American very Fender like vintage sound, which remains clean at a very high volumes, providing a great platform for pedals.

- The drive channel has a very smooth distortion, full of harmonics, with sounds ranging from blues - classic rock to hard rock. This channel has an incredible sustain and at the same time a fast and precise attack.

- 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.
