ELEMMENT 47
The Silverface Sound, Reimagined.
The ELEMMENT 47 is an overdrive designed to capture the iconic texture and character of the Fender "Silverface" era (1967–1981). Known for their crystalline cleans, natural compression, and smooth breakup, these legendary amps only hit overdrive at massive volumes thanks to their high-power circuits and ultra-linear transformers.
We’ve engineered an original circuit based on a modified Timmy architecture, adding two custom Germanium gain stages to deliver that unmistakable Fender compression and EQ. It’s all about the dynamics: the ELEMMENT 47 cleans up perfectly with your guitar's volume knob or a lighter pick attack, even at max gain. But don't be fooled—with the BASS and DRIVE cranked, it morphs into a unique, nasal "fuzzy" drive reminiscent of a silverface head pushed to its absolute limit.
Master the Tone:
- Active Bass Control: Add or cut low-end as needed. This control is interactive, affecting how the DRIVE responds to your playing.
- Musical Treble Cut: Carefully tuned to preserve that signature Fender "sparkle" or to roll off excess highs without touching your crucial midrange.
CONTROLS
Drive: Sets the overall saturation. Turn it clockwise for everything from subtle "edge-of-breakup" tones to a rich, nasal fuzzy drive.
Bass: An active control to shape your low-end. Turn it clockwise to add body and depth; turn it back to tighten up your sound.
Treble: Adjusts the high-end response. Turn it clockwise to add that signature silverface "sparkle" and clarity to your signal.
Master: Controls the final output volume. Plenty of headroom here to boost your amp or level your sound.
