INTRODUCTION
The Solstice Amp Distortion is a recreation of the Marshall Shredmaster, first released in 1991
alongside the Bluesbreaker and the Guv'nor, which was previously released in 1988 as the Drivemaster.
Despite its name, the Shredmaster is not an ultra-gain metal monster like the Boss Metal Zone. Unlike
the Guv'nor, it does have the ability to scoop the mids, so you can get some sounds out of it that
approach the metal territory—but for the most part, the name is misleading.
The Shredmaster has a lot in common with the Guv'nor / Drivemaster, and in fact the first half of both
circuits are nearly identical. However, the Shredmaster has an additional gain recovery stage, and even
though the three tone knobs appear to be the same on the outside, the tone stack is very different.
The Solstice is faithful to the original, but with one added modification: a switch that lets you go
between different clipping diodes. The original has a pretty low clipping threshold with just one 1N914
diode in each direction, meaning its clipping character is more gainy and compressed. But some different
sounds can be coaxed out of it if you stack two additional diodes (as in the Bluesbreaker) or use LEDs (as
in the Guv'nor) to get a higher threshold.
USAGE
The Solstice has the following controls:
• Treble and Bass form a passive 2-band tonestack similar to the type found on an amp. It's the same
as the classic "FMV" (Fender/Marshall/Vox) arrangement, but with a 1k resistor in place of the mid
knob, essentially fixing the midrange control at a specific setting.
• Contour pans between a mid scoop on one side and a lowpass (treble cut) filter on the other side. It
serves the function of a midrange control while being a little unique in its tone-shaping properties.
• Gain controls the amount of gain in the op-amp gain stages that is fed into the clipping stage.
• Volume controls the overall output of the effect.
• Clipping (toggle switch) selects the clipping diodes which changes the character of the drive tone.
