When it comes to Bluesy cleans and fat lead tones, the Vertex Effects Steel String (Slight Return Edition) — based on serial #001 of a legendary six-figure Dumble Steel String Singer — may be one of the BEST ways to impart D-style clean tone to your favorite amplifier. Whether you're front-ending a stage amp with the Steel String (Slight Return Edition)'s expanded midrange control via the “Filter” knob or glassier highs and fatter lows via the Rock/Jazz switch, this pedal is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Just like the amp it's named after, the Steel String (Slight Return Edition) is characterized by a fat and glassy tones sound that absolutely marinates signals in tubelike harmonics as you ramp up the gain with plenty of available top end "glass" and a little more low-end "snap" compared to the original Steel String MKII. From subtle fattening and clean compression to full-on overdrive, the Steel String (Slight Return Edition) is the next best thing to having the real-deal SSS in your rig!
