The Soundroads Amplification SR 100 Pedal Platform features a singular design, tailored toward how today’s guitarists manage large pedal arrays and set up their gear. As a standalone amplifier the SR 100 Pedal Platform performs at the pinnacle of classic tone and dominates tone shaping capabilities, surpassing many legacy amplifiers with limited voicing.
This is an all-tube driven amp featuring Accutronics spring reverb, buffered FX loop, and FX Send and Return jacks located on the front face plate with corresponding Send and Return controls.
The SR 100 Pedal Platform voicing is best characterized by blackface Fender americana and, in a limited respect, can be compared to classic Twin Reverb or Two-Rock Traditional Clean/John Mayer signature amplifiers. All these amplifiers essentially share the same fundamental circuit architectures that incorporate a power section driven by 6L6 GC power tubes and an early-stage EQ section. However, the comparisons stop there as the SR 100 Pedal Platform type and value component selection play a critical role in tone and voicing outcomes.
The FX loop circuit can be fully bypassed with a switch easily accessible on the face plate. The FX circuit architecture is a cathode follower driver with the recovery stage part of the same 12 AX7 dual triode. This proven design is well adapted to drive large pedal arrays with long low noise cable runs and ample gain. This circuit can also be used as an additional gain stage for earlier break-up, if desired, by simply adjusting the Send and Return controls. This is similar to how a Dumbleator operates.
The front end of the amp instrument input is meticulously dialed in to accept pedals as well as the FX loop without impedance or over-modulation issues. This makes for a great pedal platform amplifier that has the versatility sought after by guitarists.
These features, along with a line out, equipped with level control and EQ adjustment located on the back of the amplifier, make this a great recording amplifier, as well as for live performances. The noise floor on the SR 100 Pedal Platform is extremely quiet for a highgain amplifier with a 100 W power output
With the dual capacitor Bright and dual capacitor Middle tone switches, along with the Deep switch and Contour control, you can easily get the desired voicing of the amplifier and the sound you seek.
