Here is a brief history of the design genesis of the SE-100 in John Suhr’s 
own words, “The SE-100 is a high gain mod I did when I first moved to LA in 
91.  It has been used in the original CAA 3+ preamp by Lukather, Henderson, 
Landau, EVH (on F.U.C.K) later it had an update bringing it to the SE which was 
a little smoother and gainier.

The SE mod is in the Marshalls that Reb Beach used, as well as in both Doug 
Aldrich amps which are used with Whitesnake and when he was with Dio.  It 
gives you gobs of smooth gain with loosing that Marshall character.”

Every SE100 Hand Wired is meticulously handcrafted and offers a number of 
unique features such as: four gain stages, a plexi-style output transformer.
For high gain addicts, this amp delivers muscular British crunch, chest 
pounding high-gain, and well defined, bone crushing drop tuning tones -  
all with a simple turn of the gain knob! 

Not only does the plugin nail the heart and soul of the SE100 but you’ll find 
the extra features you’ve come to expect from Brainworx products. A full 
FX Rack with host syncable lo-fi delay, noise gate, tight and smooth filters, 
power soak and a power amp bypass feature. 

On top of this you find no less than 120 advanced impulse reponses created 
at Brainworx’ studio using boutique cabinets, high end microhones and their 
Neve VXS console.
