Inspired by the Dual Super Lead™ (DSL) series amplifiers, the Lead Super Drive (LSD) produces sustaining, tube-like tone as well as excellent note articulation. With the Gain at noon, lead lines cut through the mix but also generate a crushing rhythm tone. Turn the Gain up to eleven for that unmistakable brown-sound distortion, or turn it down for excellent crunch that cleans up with the guitar's volume control, just as you would expect an amp to do. For the true JCM2000™ experience, a 4-way "channel" selector allows the player to access 4 breakup voices, similar to the 4 options on a DSL™ amplifier (Clean, Crunch, Ultra 1, Ultra 2).

Controls

• Volume - Sets the overall output level

• Tone - Fine-tunes the brightness/darkness of the LSD

• Gain - Controls the intensity of the signal clipping, from mild breakup to the roar of a full-stack

• 4-way "channel" selector - Allows the user to select from 4 different "channels" for varying levels of saturation and breakup.

  • Clean(ish) - Bright, articulate and touch sensitive

  • Crunch 1 - More focus in the midrange, fatter sound

  • Crunch 2 - Even fatter than crunch 2, spongier distortion.

  • Fuzz - A blistering, snotty fuzz that was a vastly different option within the same framework.
