Not according to the website. Looks like the SS doesn't have the 3 gear selectability.

Yeah, I was completely oblivious to the mid-sized QR, until I called Scott to ask about doing a Street Rod as a head becaue I was looking for a lower wattage QR option. The Street Rod is basically a 40 watt QR, in combo form so I thought a SR in head format would be the ticket. Scott told me that he quit making the SR into a head, because people just couldn't get around the "upside down" control layout when it was converted to a head from the combo (with all the controls running across the top instead of the bottom). So, that's how the mid-sized QR was born. That's what he suggested, and I saw it had the 6V6/22 watt option so that's what I ended up going with.
Of course, this was before I bought the Fryette PS100. I was thinking I could crank the 22 watter a bit more to get the power section going, but it's kind of a moot point now with the Fryette. LOL

Quick update.. Amp arrived, but was damaged in transport. One side of the headshell was completely blown apart. The only thing holding the headshell together on that corner was about 1 1/2" of tolex. Split it all the way across, right along the glue seam. Good news is, the amp still works and sounds awesome!
Sucks though, because now Scott is going to have to build a new headshell for it. I really feel bad for Scott, this is two in a row that have gotten damaged between NC and Arkansas that Scott has had to fix on his dime. They must have some real gorillas in the UPS network between here and there.

That sucks but I would have to blame the packer/shipper on that.
Let's hear some clips!

I'll have to see what I can come up with. Don't really have a way to record it properly. Just a cell phone or maybe my wife's DSLR.
