CAE/Suhr OD100 Classic
In purple dressing.
The Custom Audio Electronics OD100 is designed after years of
painstaking research and development with some of the finest guitarists
in the industry. It's a two-channel 3-mode amp capable of a
wide variety of vintage to modern tones.
Its straightforward design with rugged construction is simple to use
yet extremely versatile. From a warm, fat and punchy clean sound to
blistering overdrive and everything in between, this amp must be played
and heard to be believed.
The latest version of the OD100 was developed when LA studio legend Michael Landau told John Suhr that he'd like the OD100 Standard+'s Channel 2 to be like an early-70's British amp that he owned and adored. John borrowed Landau's amp and tweaked away, eventually coming up with a brand new Channel 2 and a new output section that duplicated and even surpassed the sound that Mike had come to love.
The Channel 2 of the OD100 Classic has much less gain than Channel 2 of either the OD100 SE+ or the OD100 Standard+. It's definitely more of a vintage voicing – like that of cranked non-master-volume amps with EL-34 output tubes – but you have the flexibility of the master volume to get that cranked sound and feel at moderate volume levels.
Besides the completely new preamp circuit for Channel 2, the OD100 Classic features the silver "Plexi-style" output transformer and EL-34 output tubes in the power section for a more authentic vintage British sound.
