Greer Amps Soma 63 Teardown! See what's inside!

[@velvetsound]

Love these tear downs. I’ve learned more about pedal design from these than I have from most books and videos. Thank you. If you made a full electronics course for pedal builders I would post good money for it.

Great explanation of the preamp. Anyway it sound awesome especially at this price point.

Well done Joe, another great tear down for sure. The insight you have with the schematic breakdowns is fantastic.. and an added bonus I learned about the "bias" settings on a pedal which is killer. Thanks so much for all the time and energy you put in, I learn a ton from your channel and I thank you for that.

Wow! Had no idea about the bias points. It definitely came that way from a seller on reverb- sounded “starved.” Really excited to finally hear the soma 63 as it should be 🙏 The similarities with Hudson Broadcast are interesting. Have a Suhr Hombre amp (6G3-ish) to compare how close the brown face sound might be… Many thanks

Just ordered this pedal and would like to know what does it sound like (through your guys amps)? I bought the Soma because I've already bought the Lightspeed , Burning Goat and the Southlander...these pedal are fantastic so I'm assuming the Soma will be the same. Great teardown bud...

Always find these teardown fascinating. I follow about 20% of what you're saying :) "fresnel" is pronounced "freh-NEL" btw

i enjoy your videos

[@LollygaggerFX]

Nooice!! Maybe I should send in one of mine for you to tear down. 🙂

Excellent teardown👍 Actually another copy of JHS Twin Twelve with a transformer on the output 😃

Not what it's marketed as, - which is a Fender Brownface emulation,- specifically not a 1484.

This pedal is crazy underrated

[@waynegram8907]

GRAY BENCH, MMP FJ201 has low pinch off voltage and low idle current. What is the advantage of using a JFET that has low pinch off voltage and low idle current?

[@egor1g]

I have this pedal and it sounds very unique.

At some point, I think you start flexing on everyone with your knowledge of amps and electronics. 😅
