The Way Huge Smalls STO delivers smooth, silky overdrive that sounds like the purr of a freshly tuned-up
muscle car. The circuit that it’s based on has been a special secret passed around for years among Nashville
honky tonks and recording studios like a nice charcoal-filtered whiskey. Rumors surround its introduction to
the scene, but any who’ve played it would agree on its ability to gradually butter up your tone while preserving
the fundamental character of your guitar and amp. When Mr. Jeorge Tripps got hold of one, he stuck his head
under the hood and tinkered for days on end without availing himself of sleep, or food, or water. Eventually,
he emerged from his workshop with the STO, a reimagined version of the Nashville staple equipped with his
beloved 4741 op-amp for an even smoother, more pillowy sound.
PUT SOME GREASE ON IT.
