"The SS20/40 is the flagship of our Custom Shop Studio range, packed with powerful, intuitive features like power scaling, boost, and a wide gain spectrum. Designed for professional session players seeking versatility without option paralysis. The circuit begins with High and Low impedance inputs to tailor gain response—Low impedance is ideal for high-output pickups or players wanting less preamp compression. The Boost adds preamp gain for harmonic richness and interacts with the input impedance. A traditional 3-band EQ shapes tone before hitting a quad of EL84s, delivering 40 watts in Stage mode or just over 20 watts in Studio mode via smart power scaling."
