SUHR SE-100 Hand Wired Amplifier- User Guide
The Wait is Over... High gain addicts no longer have to wait up to two years to get the highly
sought after SE overdrive modification (mod). For many years artists all over the world have
sent us their beloved master volume amps to be modified. As part of the mod process, and to
ensure reliability, these amplifiers undergo a complete overhaul; essentially transforming their
old amplifier into a bullet-proof, high gain machine.
Due to the overwhelming demand for this mod, we have developed the SE-100 Hand Wired
amplifier - the ultimate single channel high gain amp. The SE-100 Hand Wired incorporates our
sought after SE 3+pre-amp mod, paired with a finely tuned '68 plexi output power section,which
delivers a variety of classic and modern high gain overdrive tones, and 100 watts of power that
you can feel at your fingertips.
Every SE-100 Hand Wired is meticulously handcrafted and offers a number of unique features
such as: four gain stages, a plexi-style output transformer, and a bypassable low impedance
tube effects loop optimized to interface with line level rack gear.
For high gain addicts, this amp delivers muscular British crunch, chest pounding high-gain, and
well defined, bone crushing drop tuning tones - all with a simple turn of the gain knob!
