Vertex Effects Steel String MKII Slight Return Edition

Description

A Space-saving Take on the Steel String Supreme
Vertex Effects’ Steel String MKII Slight Return Edition preamp pedal is a bite-size version of the company’s classic Steel String Supreme Slight Return Version, packing the tone of one of history’s most legendary custom amp creations into a pedalboard-friendly stompbox! The result is a streamlined, no-nonsense iteration of the Steel String Supreme Slight Return Version that perfectly captures the tube-like warmth and dynamic feel of the original unit. Level and Gain controls provide a plethora of iconic D-style overdrive tones — made famous by players ranging from John Mayer to an iconic Texas bluesman — while the Filter knob delivers detailed control of the Steel String MKII Slight Return Edition’s midrange focus, which is adjustable between 800Hz and 1.2kHz for superior tone shaping. Just like its bigger-box brethren, the Steel String MKII Slight Return Edition Mini is topped off with a 3-way

Just like its bigger-box brethren, the Steel String MKII Slight Return Edition Mini is topped off with a 3-way Jazz/Rock/Bypass control that allows for the shifting of your signal’s Q, providing three distinct tonal voices at the flip of a switch!
Superior sonic sculpting
The Steel String MKII Slight Return Edition Mini might look like your standard 3-knob overdrive from the outset, but the truth is that this diminutive pedal boasts a superior level of sonic sculpting. Unlike a standard stompbox tone knob, this pedal’s filter sweep is fine-tuned to precisely adjust your midrange focus between 800Hz and 1.2kHz, making it a breeze to pin down the vocal-like mids found on the Steel String MKII Slight Return Edition Mini’s amplifier inspiration.
Jazz/Rock/Bypass switch for a trio of tones
For players looking to cover a wide range of sonic ground, a 3-way Jazz/Rock/Bypass switch shifts the Q to either your signal’s low end (Jazz) or high end (Rock), with a neutral position that bypasses the control entirely. There are certainly a few Sweetwater audio engineers that would love to delve into the nitty-gritty here, but we’ll leave you with a more succinct summation: Rock is ideal for tightening up your dirty tones; Jazz is perfect for smoothing over your signal during cleaner passages.
