Vertex Steel String Supreme (SRV)

The specialist's opinion

When it comes to getting clean and bold SRV tones, the Vertex Effects Steel String Supreme (Slight Return Version) - based on the serial number 001 of a legendary six-digit Dumble Steel String Singer - is the only sound shaping tool you need in your arsenal.

Whether it's powering a stage amp with the SRV's all-analog preamp, adding a little Texan sugar to your amp modeler or even directly powering a booth / IR charger, this pedal will guarantee you a smile on your face.

Much like the amp it's named after, the Steel String Supreme (SRV) features a bold, glassy tone that marinates the signals in tubular-like overtones as you crank up the gain. The SRV's active EQ and Bright / Deep + Rock / Jazz switches add new tone shaping capabilities over the original SSS and give you a bit more "glass" at the top end of the spectrum and a bit more from "snap" at the bottom of the spectrum to this latest addition to the Steel String family. From subtle fattening and clean compression to total overdrive, the Vertex Effects SRV Edition is the ultimate in having true SSS in your gear.
