SH-100 Hand Wired Amplifier
The Suhr®! SH-100 was designed in collaboration with Jazz Fusion/Blues guitarist Scott
Henderson.! This 100-watt, all-tube, hand wired amplifier features four EL-34s, a ’67 spec
“Plexi” output transformer and a tube-buffered effects loop, to produce a broad range of
warm, punchy cleans and thick modified high gain overdrive tones.

Presence:
Adjusts the amount of high frequencies. Turning it clockwise will
add more cut and sparkle.
Bass:
Adjusts the amount of low end. Turning it clockwise increases the
amount of low frequencies, giving you a fuller tone. Turning it
counter clockwise will reduce the effect and tighten up the bottom-
end, useful when performing at louder volumes.
Middle:
Adjusts the midrange. Turning it clockwise increases the amount
of mids, giving your tone a fatter response. Turning it counter
clockwise will produce a mid-scooped sound.
Treble:
Adjusts the top end. Turning it clockwise increases the amount of
treble, giving your tone clarity and brightness. Turning it counter
clockwise will produce a warmer sound, excellent for dialing in
smooth fluid-like lead tones.
Gain
Adjusts the amount of pre-amp gain, lower settings offer clean
sounds - higher settings for crunch and hi-gain sustain.
Two-position:
OFF: Power is switched off
ON: On, normal operation
Stand Back/
Standby:
With the power switch in the OFF position and the Standby switch
in the Standby position, flip the power switch to ON. Wait sixty
seconds, then flip the Standby switch to the Stand Back position.
This will prolong tube life.
To power down, simply switch the amplifier from Stand Back to
Standby, then power switch to the OFF position.
NOTE: To avoid loud popping or damage, ensure the amplifier is in the Standby position.
