The AMT SS20 Tube Preamp.... From Russia with love and heavy tube distortions!
I always use it, but I never told you anything about it. It's the core every guitar setup I use, because the SS20 is a super flexible tool, which allows me to quickly morph my setup, no matter if I go straight in-line, thru an amp, or I use the pedalboard with synths and electronics instead.
It features 3 amazing channels (clean, crunch and lead), a mono send-return for effects and 2 separated outputs (one with an analog cabinet emulation and a second one without).
During this video I'll chat a bit about why and when I started to use tube preamp pedals, the story behind all the preamps I owned, how do I use the SS20 and what love about it.

Quickly becoming a legend known worldwide for it’s AMAZING heavy metal style tube distortion. Brother to the SS-11 preamp, but the SS-20 was designed based on tigher, crunchier, more aggressive styles of guitar playing. Incredible Clean, Overdrive, Distortion, and Lead tones in a compact tube valve driven pedal. We are raising the bar and technology in modern day pedal design and offer affordable high end guitar tone pedals. This one is going to be finding its way onto lots of pedalboards! Our principle and motto for this device is it is the valve that sounds and sings, however, the transistors do their best to help it sound in all its beauty and originality. Next best option to buying an expensive amp head!
