A brave new world of tone, the SOMA ‘63 Vintage Preamp is the first pedal in
the XFR series of pedals from Greer Amps. The SOMA ’63 is a true vintage
preamp, based on the tone and feel of vintage brown era amplifiers from
California. This pedal simulates the entire preamp, phase inverter, power
section, and even the feel of the vintage 10 inch Utah speakers that were in
those famous brown amps. The tone stack is designed to provide a wide and
dynamic range of tonal options to the user. The Presence control works with
the tone stack, and is designed to be a wide range control, effecting the
overall sound of the entire circuit. The SOMA ’63 features a steel core
transformer in the audio signal path. The transformer lends to the overall
tone shaping of the circuit, and when the gain is pushed hard, especially with
higher output pickups, the small steel core transformer will saturate, just
like a vintage amplifier. The SOMA ’63 can be used as a tone-shaping preamp,
or as an overdrive pedal. There are a wide variety of tones available in the
SOMA ’63, so spend some time with your new pedal, and find the tones that rock
your world! The SOMA ‘63 runs off of a standard, negative center pin 9 volt
power supply, and can be ran off of up to 18 volts. At 9 volts, the SOMA ‘63
will have more grit and texture. At 18 volts, you can expect higher headroom,
a bit stiffer response, and less overall grit. Greer Amps’ lifetime warranty
covers manufacturing defects and component failure to the original owner, it
does not cover misuse or abuse.
