Bludotone amps are known for their Dumble-style builds, with an intrepid quality beyond just a 1:1 clone. The South Saturn Delta has a familiar ODS style layout, expanded with separate controls for clean and overdrive channels. Players will find plenty of drive and tonal options on the OD side, while the clean channel offers impressive headroom and a natural, organic compression that smooths out dynamics. This head is in fantastic condition, with only minimal signs of previous wear. Here's what founder Brandon Montgomery has to say about the SSD:
"The South Saturn Delta started off as an evolution of the Bludo-Drive, and has taken on a life of its own. Initially launched in response to customer requests for a modernized version of the Bludo-Drive with a built-in buffered effects loop, and all of the internal controls on the outside, the SSD goes a few steps further. Starting with its own “SSD” voicing, the SSD offers a unique tonal experience, a fresh palate on which to create your personal masterpiece.
The Clean is sparkly, with a nice Jangle, and even mid response, the Overdrive is a touch players dream, as it is lower gain than the typical Bludo-Drive, so notes are clean when picked lightly, and drive when picked hard. Need more grease? You got it! The SSD’s 4 Button foot-switch offers 16 combinations from clean to scream. The SSD also features the Bludotone/Hermida MOSFET Tube Simulator circuit , which is basically a foot switchable “Floating” gain stage that can be stacked in front of any combination of the other foot switch buttons, clean or overdrive, for fluid, saturated overdrive sounds, or crunchy in-between sounds on the clean."
