This legendary overdrive circuit has been whispered about in Nashville's honky tonks and recording studios for years, passed around like a treasured bottle of charcoal-filtered whiskey. The Way Huge Smalls STO captures that smooth, silky overdrive tone that purrs like a freshly tuned muscle car, based on this closely guarded secret that has become the stuff of legend among players in the know.
When Mr. Jeorge Tripps got his hands on one of these Nashville staples, he disappeared into his workshop for days without sleep, food, or water, tinkering under the hood until he emerged with the STO. His reimagined version maintains all the buttery smoothness that gradually enhances your tone while preserving the fundamental character of your guitar and amp, but with an even more pillowy sound quality.
The STO's straightforward three-knob layout provides the fastest route to overdriven bliss you'll find. The Drive control stands out with its wide, responsive range that makes your amp sound like it's breaking up naturally without pushing unwanted volume. This special batch run represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Nashville's sonic history.
