For those who may need to voice their amp..................

Great sounds. Now where is that spare $$$$!

Doug has some impressive chops. He just seems to "get it".

That amp sounds killer, but I want to hear some clips without the tube screamer

Doug is a cool cat.

I have had some time with that sss. It sounds skinny and very pretty. The highs are sweet but there was not a lot of low frequency content with the 1x12 we tried the amp with.

And that amp looks very cool, imho.

HAD has alot of tricks in eugene`s bag doesn`t he!

Is it me, or there is EF86 feel ?

[jelle]

To me, this sss did feel very different than the eff86 based dumbleland based amp that I built. The Pentode amp was much more compressed and sustainy.

Verrry nice! That SSS looks like a fairly old one. Jelle, do you know where it stands in the SSS timeline?

AFAIK this is #004.

Aha! Verrry interestink! as they used to say on Laugh-In.

Honestly, I think Doug could find a way to pull out good sounds from the worst amps I have ever built. He has that knack of playing the amp as much as the guitar.

Based on the design of the chassis, that IMO bears a likeness to the design of the transition generation ODS amps with a black chassis, and based on the parts used inside this SSS #004, IMO it was most probably built/completed somewhere between 1978 (at the earliest) and 1981 (at the latest):

A nice weekend to all here.

Thanx again Max, I didn't associate those pix with the one in the video, different angle of view and different coloration I guess.
