2 Introduction & Usage

INTRODUCTION

The Silvanus Amp Drive is based on the Xotic SL Drive, first released in the summer of 2013 and

by Aion FX in

2023.

The SL Drive was designed to emulate the tone of an overdriven Marshall Super Lead (hence SL) Model

1959 or Super Bass amplifier, calling to mind famous users of these amps such as Jimmy Page and

Jimi Hendrix. It's an original circuit, though it has enough similarities to the RAT that they probably

referenced that circuit in the design process.

Internally, there are four DIP switch settings to change between the Super Lead and Super Bass modes

as well as a few other parameters. We've included a redrawn reference for these settings in the build

notes later on.

The Silvanus Amp Drive is a close adaptation of the SL Drive, including the DIP switches. The one

addition is that we added a clipping toggle switch, so you can engage the stock diodes or two other extra

settings. Other than that, it has the same controls as the originals, both inside and out.

USAGE

The Silvanus has the same control layout as a typical overdrive or distortion effect:

• Drive controls the amount of gain in the op-amp gain stage that precedes the diode clipping.

• Tone controls the treble response of the effect.

• Volume controls the overall output.

There are also four internal DIP switches and one external toggle:

• Hi-Mid Freq. 1 and Hi-Mid Freq. 2 set the midrange frequency response of the op-amp gain stage,

along with changing the overall amount of gain. Between the two switches, there are a total of four

different frequency & gain settings.

• Hi-Mid Cut changes the frequency of the tone control's hi cut. The effect is more noticeable as the

tone control is turned down.

• +6dB Boost adds more gain in the post-clipping recovery stage. (Active when switch is OFF)

• Clipping (toggle switch) lets you choose between two combinations of silicon diodes (one in each

direction or two in each direction) or LEDs.

See build notes for more information on setting the DIP switches for certain amp models.
