EQ is independent, unlike the Fender tone stack. They do however influence the drive character as they come before it in the signal path.

Been enjoying this album. Only became aware of her by accident when a CD I bought has one of her albums mistakenly printed on it as opposed to the one I bought.

Yes, the SV has more deep bass than the Fifteen, but that’s to be expected. The high switch on the SV allows for more clickiness of finger/pick attack of the string to come through, even with the treble knob rolled off. Obviously having the mid control on the SV gives you options that aren’t available on the Fifteen. Mine are hooked up in series but I’m not running one into the cab sim of the other, if that’s what you mean.

This is going to have to be my last new pedal for quite some time I think. Really need to get stuff sold but this is the sound I’ve been chasing for ages.

Like you, I’m mostly running these sounds clean (or with slight breakup when digging in). Yes, it is frustrating to hear most demos showing the harsher side of the SV because it’s very capable of some lovely clean tones. (I actually noticed the other day that Avishai Cohen was running his upright through an SVT-CL Heritage rig.) As mentioned above, the SV does have deeper and more prominent lows. The top end can also get much fizzier due to the high switch. And this is before using either of the cab sims. I thought getting the Fifteen would obviate my keeping the SV, but I do appreciate the extra low end heft it brings for certain sounds.

Colour me interested.

If you love both sounds, the answer is obviously to get both, otherwise you’d miss one. Much more deep bass available in the SV. They are different beasts.
