Power amp distortion
The DAM Sonic Titan ST-08 is a highly dynamic high output distortion device capable of many shades and colors from the subtle to the extreme. The input stage of the ST-08 is a JFET (Junction Field Effect Transistor) pre-amplifier. This stage creates tube like clipping characteristics by slightly squashing and compressing your signal giving you superbly focused tone that will offer remarkable string clarity and dynamic overdrive tones. Picking styles become very touch responsive and tones can go from immaculately clean to mild overdrive just from the strength of the pick attack alone. The power amp in the ST-08 does all the muscle work and greatly amplifies this pre-amp stage. This stage set-up to have very high gain levels but just like with any power amp distortion needs it to be pushed hard to create a heavily saturated tone.
