Presenting the all new Vertex Steel String Supreme SR (slight return) Preamp and Drive Pedal.
When it comes to SRV-style glassy clean and fat lead tones, the Vertex Effects Steel String Supreme (slight return) — based on serial #001 of a legendary six-figure Dumble Steel String Singer — is the only tone shaper you'll need in your arsenal.
Whether you're plugging into the front end of a stage amp with the SRV's expanded all-analog preamp, feeding a little Texas sugar into your Amp Modeler, or even running straight into a Cab Simulator/IR Loader, this pedal is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Just like the amp it's named after, the Steel String Supreme (slight return) is characterized by a fat and glassy tones sound that absolutely marinates signals in tubelike harmonics as you ramp up the gain. The SRV's active EQ and Bright/Deep + Rock/Jazz switches add new tone-shaping capabilities from the original SSS and bring you a bit more available top end "glass" and a little more low-end "snap" to this latest addition to the Steel String family. From subtle fattening and clean compression to full-on overdrive, the Vertex Effects SRV edition is the next best thing to having the real-deal SSS in your rig.
Reviving the popular "Slight Return Version" model was a no brainer for Vertex, as the original Slight Return Version (during the Steel String MKI era in 2018) routinely fetches upwards of $400 on the used market with its cult following.
For 2021 they re-released the SRV (Slight Return Version) in their new multi-channel "Supreme" format. The Steel String Supreme SRV model takes all the great aspects of the original 2018 model and adds all the magic of the added "Supreme" channel with the ability to run direct into a cab sim or use the pedal as an analog preamp in front of any tube amp to get the ultimate D*style clean tones, but more than double the features, two independent channels, and added toggle switches for more Stevie-ish "glass" and "fatness" with the Bright/Deep and Jazz/Rock switches.
