Greer Soma '63 Vintage Preamp 2019 - White

Thickfreakness is not just the name of the Black Keys best album, it's also a pedal; the gain structure in the Soma 63 is absolutely beautiful.l. If you want the elusive Fender Brownface sound but can't drop $2K on an amp, then this is the jam box for you. I'd be remiss if I didn't add that the Greer "touch sensitivity" hype is real. I've had some touch sensitive boutique pedals, but this one is on a different level. There is a bit of glue residue on the back of the pedal case; I'll remove it if I can find my Goo Gone. Otherwise, excellent. From Greer: 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.
