    Question:
    P1 Preamp
    Hi,

    Perhaps I'm just slow, I don't know, but I can't make sense of much of this. My question is, can I use the P1 5150 Preamp like so: Guitar -> Tuner -> 5150 -> Chorus/Phaser -> TC Elec. Reverb/Delay -> EHX 44 Poweramp -> Palmer spekaer sim. ?

    Thank you

    Question:
    M1 cab. Simulator by pass
    Is it possible to use the M1 cab sim when the pedal is by passed? I mean I have aTS9 and I wanted to warm up the sound of it when I use it without and amp into the console or the pc. I intend to buy one M1 soon.

    Answer:
    Yes, of course. Output CAB.SIM operates in effect and bypass mode
    Question:
    Correct voltage for Legend series
    I've noticed that the legend series like S-1 have a better sound when powered at 12V. At 9V infact increasing the gain results in a thin, fuzzy sound. with 12V it's HUGE better. It is correct? should i always power them at 12V, and why did you choose to allow 9-12 with this difference in sound? better go for 12V? thanks so much, bye
    Lorenzo Fedi, 03.10.2011 03:28:04
    Answer:
    We know about the difference in sound, and repeatedly wrote about it (read the FAQ). You can use the adapter 12VDC (best sound) or battery 9V (more convenient). We just offered you a choice.
    Question:
    M1 Cab Sim->MXR Carbon Copy Delay?
    I know this has been asked before,and a lot of times. You said "don't set the level on the M1 too high, or you will overload the MXR". I'm wondering what is "overload"? Does it means "fried the MXR" or "make noise"?
    Because I don't have an amp, I just plug the M1 into the soundcard, now I want to use my Carbon Copy with it.So:
    1. Put the Carbon Copy after the M1(Cab Sim).That will be a "logical effect chain".
    2.Put it before the M1.Then the delay signal also been distorted, is that bad? I want a natural hi-gain delay sound...

    Thanks~!

    Answer:
    You should be aware that the AMT M-1 is a pre-amplifier (not the pedal FX). Carbon Copy connect after AMT M-1 (Cab Sim), Carbon Copy output connect to your sound card
    Question:
    amt ss-20 & amt ss-11b
    Hello! I´m interested in those preamps (amt ss-20 & amt ss-11b), but i want to know, which amplifiers their crunch channel and lead are inspired in (if mesa, marshall, peavey, etc...) (sorry for my bad english :D)
    I have right now the amt DT-2, i use it with this settings (Brit-hi gain-center), i wonder if I could get sounds like this on those preamps...

    Cheers!!!

    Answer:
    It is very difficult to advise anything. Our opinion is too subjective. If you are unable to listen live these pedals, look at the many videos on YouTube, it will allow you to better understand the sound and choose the appropriate pedal.
    Question:
    Popping sound
    Hey there,

    I am getting a loud popping sound when I swith channels on the true selector ts-2. Ss-11b and blackstar ht dual are connected.

    Any feedback would be much appreciated.

    Cheers.
    Bahij El khatib, 24.09.2011 21:54:19
    Answer:
    We can not test the TS-2 from blackstar, but when connecting to TS-2 two pedals SS-11 popping absent.
    Question:
    Plugging into the effects loop
    How exactly do I use my AMT R1 in my amp's effects loop?

    Do I plug my guitar first into the input, then plug a cable from send input to the R1 input and then the R1 normal output to the return input?

    Or

    Should I plug my guitar to the input of the R1 and from the normal output of the R1 to the amp's send input?

    Or is there a more correct one?
    Brian, 19.09.2011 19:46:28
    Answer:

    The correct variant:

    "I plug my guitar to the input of the R1 and from the normal output of the R1 to the amp's send input"


    Question:
    SS-20 with 9v
    Helo, can I use my SS-20 with a 9v DC power supply? It woud be lighter distortion? I have some Visual Sound 1 spot with other pedals that I'm thinking to split with SS-20.
    Alexandre Cabide, 18.09.2011 15:32:07
    Answer:
    When powered from 9VDC, SS-20 did not fail, but any reasonably sound, it will not.
    Question:
    SS-20 + M1
    Hi.
    I'm one proud SS-20 owner, very satisfied with both its crystal clear channel and its crunch/lead channel. Anyway, I'm wondering about adding an M-1 or B-1 pedal to my setup, using the SS-20 fx loop. My idea is:
    SS20 send> M1/B1> chorus> delay> reverb> SS20 return.
    Can I get it working that way? Do I have to use the CAB.SIM output or the regular output? Is there something I should take care of (noise, too much gain, ecc.)?
    Thanks and, again, you're doing a great job!

    IaC.

    Answer:

    We do not recommend that you use in your case, preamp series Legend Amps. You'd better use the pedal in a series FX-Drive ME-1, BE-1 (similar to the sound of the M-1 and B-1). In this case, the chain will be as follows:

    ME-1/BE-1> input SS-20 > SS20 send> chorus> delay> reverb> SS20 return.

    Output can be used as OUTPUT jack, and CAB.SIM. (you can use simultaneously both outputs)

    Question:
    Phase of the signal
    Hello! Could you please tell me if any of your Legend series and Drive series pedals reverse the phase of the signal at the output?
    I'm asking because I'm actually experiencing some out of phase problems with a stereo setup, so I'd like to buy one of your distortion devices....but I really need to know this.
    Also, do JFETs reverse the phase like real triodes of tubes (from what I've read)? Or do they leave the phase of the signal as it is instead?
    In case JFETs reverse the phase, could you please tell me which of your Legend and Drive pedals have an even and which have an odd number of gain stages?
    Thank you in advance!!
    Vincent, 05.09.2011 12:59:23
    Answer:
    Phase of the signal in the pedals Legend Amps series and FX-Drive matches the original preamps, which are emulated. Phase is determined by the number of amplifier stages.
    Question:
    SS-11b direct
    Hi I can plug SS-11b Direct em line?
    Can I connect: guitar> comp> SS-11b> delay> PA?
    Thanks
    Duilio Humberto de Lima, 25.08.2011 15:52:47
    Answer:
    Yes, you can connect in this way, provided that your delay will be connected to input RETURN your combo. Also ask that you carefully read the user manual. The manual SS-11 are examples of external devices.
    Question:
    TC-3 power supply
    Hi,

    I have a complete set of AMT preamps (F1, M1, E1, P1, R1, Freak Guitar and SS-10) all of them are great products and now I want to buy an AMT power amp pedal to drive a 1x12 cabinet.

    Only the TC-3 is available at this moment on Thomann, I would like to know if it is possible to use a 12V power supply because I use to supply my preamps with a battery pack in order to eliminate 220V noises.

    It will be great if the TC-3 could be supplied with 12V (for battery application) and (18V/3W) for repeats.

    If it is possible, will the souund be different ?

    Regards,

    MSP
    msp, 25.08.2011 10:32:17
    Answer:
    TC-3 is not intended for supply of 12VDC. To supply from 12VDC search for amplifier TC-1
    Question:
    AMT Drive Series Pedal's Availability
    When will the Driver Series be available for purchase from Thomann.de?

    I am still looking to buy but they are not there to buy?

    How long will it be?

    Many thanks. Steve
    Steve Murray, 10.08.2011 17:23:36
    Answer:

    Now preparing to send a parcel to Thomann, which contains all the pedals series FX-Drive.

    Do not hesitate to contact your distributor with questions about the acquisition of the desired product. This can significantly speed up the time of appearance the required products in stock.


    Question:
    JFET vs Drive series
    What is the difference between the JFET Guitar Preamp series and the Drive series pedals ? Like the S-Drive Vs the S1 .

    Thanks.
    Guy, 08.08.2011 08:23:26
    Answer:
    JFET Guitar Preamp series (including series Legend Amps) - series preamps, which must be connected to the RETURN jack of your combo (that is, directly into the power amplifier). Series FX-Drive, as well as any effects pedal, to be connected to the INPUT jack on the front of your combo.
    Question:
    sound s1
    I own a preamplifier S1 connected to a Marshall JCM900 dual reverb stack, the problem is i have alot and i mean alot of medium in the sound and a lot of feedback.
    Even by adjusting the equalisation of the Marshall (acute 8 medium 3 bass 8) and playing on the clear channel the sound is really polluted.
    Same result passing through the effects loop (send and return).
    If you could advise me.
    Thankyou.


    mickae, 05.08.2011 19:08:04
    Answer:

    Do not install the knob Level S-1 more than 14 hours at the position of knob Gain at the maximum.

    Try connecting in another power amplifier (via the input "RETURN")


    Question:
    Выход CAB.SIM
    Здравствуйте!

    Хотелось бы прояснить следующий момент: на преампе BC-1 выход CAB.SIM симметричный? Возможно ли балансное подключение преампа например к пульту или звуковой карте через этот выход?

    С уважением, Алексей.
    Алексей, 03.08.2011 07:58:56
    Answer:
    BC-1 выход CAB.SIM не симметричный.
    Балансный выход предназначен для подключения к значительно удаленным  внешним приборам.

    Question:
    Legacy Series Tone Stacks
    How accurate are the tone stacks compared to the amp its modeling? For example:

    If i set the P1 "highs" at 2:00, is is about the same as if I had a REAL 5150 and set its "highs" at 2:00 on the real amp?

    Are the tone stack EQ "Frequencies" about the same as the amp it models? or do all the Legacy series use the same frequencies for cutting/boosting in their tone stack?

    Question:
    connections
    In this chain of pedals: guitar to ss-11b to F1 to PA, will the F1 work as a power amp or is it still a pre amp? Thanks!

    Question:
    Power supply/Channel Switching
    Zdrastvuiite!

    Ia professionalnii gitarist i u menia dlia vas paru voprossov.

    - I use my SS-11A (which is amazing by the way!) along with some 9V FX pedals. I would like to carry only one power supply in my pedalboard to power them all. Is there any power supply on the market (voodoo lab pedal power, TRex Fuel Tank etc...) that would do the job?

    - I would like to use an audio controller (the musicomlab EFX markIII to be more specific) to switch the channels of the SS-11A so i don't have to tap dance between the preamp and the FX. As it has no footswitch input, is it possible? If not, do you mod your own preamps to add this kind of input or midi? If the answer is no, you should consider adding this feature to your next products, it would be even more handy! ;)
