Title: So now that some of us have these lets talk about TOAN! Post by: bigwebb83 on May 31, 2012, 05:31:52 PM So now that some of us have these I'd like to discuss tones. I'm loving mine. Great clean tone but it takes pedals differently than the clean channel on my OTS. I'm a big fan of John Mayer's many sounds as well as SRV's. One in particular I'm really into right now is JM's tone on this live performance of Lenny/Man on the side. Also love everything from the Continuum album. Post what your using and clips are always cool as well. I'll post some soon.

Post by: boldaslove6789 on June 07, 2012, 06:12:28 PM Hate to Burst your bubble but JM was not using a Dumble Steel String Singer at this time. That vid has a few Fender's, and maybe an Overdrive Special or Two-Rock in the background, but no SSS.
He only had owned misc Overdrive specials at the time that was recorded(an EL34 HRm and a 70's style combo with an EVM-12L in it). He didn't get Jackson Browne's Silver panel Serial #2 Dumble SSS until he started the JM Trio, when he recorded Contiuum etc. Title: Re: So now that some of us have these lets talk about TOAN!

Love the trio tone as well. Anyone ever used a smooth and slim? Apparently mayer uses one in front of his SSS to tame the highs. Title: Re: So now that some of us have these lets talk about TOAN!

[/quote] I have a Ayan Smooth and Slim, and it's NOT used to tame the highs. The S & S realigns all the frequencies entering the preamp. The low frequencies are adjusted so that you wont experience flab and inarticulation at higher volumes due to the bass being amplified along with all the other frequencies. It's probably a (hipass/bandpass) filter that only manipulates the lows and effectively readjusts to suit. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Gil Ayan took this design from the front end circuitry of one of Howard dumble's amp designs. The S & S pedal is supposed to be the very last pedal in line to the preamp of the guitar amp. FWIW the S & S does what it claims to do.

I play this monster for one year. I wanted an amp to play Bonamassa and Mayer and many others I spent a lot of time tryiny all the setting to get the right sound So this is my gear with settings Gibson Les Paul Supreme 2004 fender strat US deluxe HSS Blackstar Artisan 4x12 V30 AND Ceriatone SSS Gain 8 Fet 5 Rock No Deep No Mid Boost No Treble Boost Treble 3 Mid 5 Bass 5 Filter High one before the last position ( roll off the high end) Filter Low two before the last position ( tight the bass) Presence 3 both negative feedback on maximum gain I also use a clator All knobs at noon With strat first bright switch engaged and only one With Les Paul desangaged the first and engaged the second I use the footswitch to boost the gain and the mid as needed. Those settings give a very nice creamy sound with the les Paul a la Bonamassa and a very clean to crunch sound with the strat Title: Re: So now that some of us have these lets talk about TOAN!

Title: Re: So now that some of us have these lets talk about TOAN! Post by: Redline on August 19, 2013, 12:02:09 PM If you want to try and taste, my new setting to get the ultimate Bonamassa tone:
O'Clock Gain : 3 Fet: 3 Negative feedback both toggle switches in the middle position Rock on Deep off Bright off Mid boost on treble: 9 mid: 3 bass: 2 Filter: both in one before the last position Presence 10 Both pedal boost engaged Master as you want On the c lator, no bright engaged. All knobs at noon Add some reverb and delay For me and a Blackstar Artisan V30 and Gibson les Paul Supreme, this the best configuration. Title: Re: So now that some of us have these lets talk about TOAN! Post by: trancas on September 30, 2013, 02:17:14 AM Here's a vid with me playing an SSS. I'm playing the Les Paul and there is a Fultone OCD in front for the recording. Using the FET channel with gain on 6. The SSS is the prominent guitar sound for the choruses, and used for the leads. Love the SSS! Thanks Nik!
