Description

Pete Cornish SS-3™ DELUXE
The PETE CORNISH SS-3™ DELUXE is great for crunchy rhythm and a nice thick bluesy lead; the sound is very much like an overdriven vintage valve amp. The SS-3™ DELUXE is currently being used by Noel Gallagher of Oasis, and is also a firm favorite of David Gilmour of Pink Floyd and Lou Reed.

It has the best bottom end retention ever heard in an effect, whilst the mid-range is sweet and very transparent. The SS-3™ retains all the tonal nuances of your guitar and will make it come alive.

Using the SS-3™ with a clean amp it is possible to progress from subtle overdriven amp sounds, through rhythmic crunch, up to a blues' lead. The tonal characteristics and dynamics of the guitar are maintained even when using this pedal at its maximum gain.

The input to this unique device is our universally acclaimed High Impedance, Unity Gain, Class A, Buffer Preamp with it's superior RFI rejecting capability (to eliminate Radio Station interference) and Low Impedance Audio output, allowing the use of extended cable runs from the SS-3™ in bypass mode.

The fixed High Impedance load presented to the Guitar allows the pickups to operate at their optimum, even when several effects units are connected after the SS-3™. The Unity Gain Buffer also prevents "Ghost Distortion" being audible in Bypass Mode.

CONTROL KNOBS
BASS control provides an attenuation of -20dB at 60 Hz when set fully Counter Clockwise. Set fully Clockwise the lo-cut control returns the frequency response to that of the original SS-2™.

knob has been designed to provide an attenuation of -14dB at 6KHz when set fully Counter Clockwise. Set fully Clockwise it provides a +6dB Boost to the Harmonic Content of the signal. Settings of the HI-CUT andLO-CUT in-between CW and CCW will provide varying amounts of boost and attenuation.

FEATURES & ADVICES

We recommend the use of the BOSS PSA series adaptors (PSA-100/110/220 or 240 depending on your local AC supply voltage) as meeting the above criteria and cannot accept any liability for damage caused to this unit by the use of any other type of AC/DC adaptor.

Although the current consumption of our Stand Alone pedals is extremely low, giving an extended battery life, it may be appropriate to use an AC/DC Adaptor for long term usage.
