2 Introduction & Usage
INTRODUCTION
The Soma Vintage Overdrive is adapted from the Pete Cornish SS-3, traced by Aion FX in 2019.
Cornish pedals are best known for being extremely expensive. There are two reasons for this. First, the
build quality and reliability is unmatched. Second, the mysterious nature of them, partially due to the
fact that the circuit is obscured and partially because of the A-list of clients such as Brian May and Pete
Townshend.
The SS-3 in particular is owned by Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, Keith Urban and Carlos Santana among
many others. It's an update to the earlier SS-2 that adds a low-cut control, since the original was fairly
bass-heavy. With the low cut control set fully clockwise, the circuit is identical to the SS-2.
Under the hood, the SS-3 appears to have originated from the MXR Distortion+ circuit and then had
passive low & hi-cut tone controls added, along with the classic Cornish buffer at the input.
The Soma is a faithful reproduction of the SS-3 circuit, but with one major addition: an internal slide
switch allowing the pedal to be used in true-bypass mode instead of buffered bypass. As with the Klon
KTR, the buffered mode is "almost always better", but with this feature, you can determine for yourself.
USAGE
The Soma has the following controls:
• Sustain controls the amount of drive or distortion, which also affects the amount of sustain.
• Low Cut is a two-stage filter that cuts bass at 60 Hz when counter-clockwise. When this control is
fully clockwise, the low-end response is identical to the SS-2.
• Hi Cut is a basic passive treble control, starting with a steep 6KHz cut at minimum, and a slight
boost when fully clockwise.
• Volume is the overall output.
