Echolette Showstar S40 (Tube Version) - Normal preset

Verified · 90/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

This is the earlier all-valve version of Echolette's Showstar S40. Normal and Vibrato channels each have two inputs and their own volume, treble and bass on two ECC808, and a third ECC808 is the phase inverter with a shared Brillanz (presence) control, driving two EL34s in push-pull. An ECC82 multivibrator flashes a lamp into a photocell for the vibrato, with intensity, speed and a footswitch; the supply uses a silicon bridge.

• Made in: Germany
• Channels: 2
• Preamp tubes: 3× ECC808, 1× ECC82
• Power tubes: 2× EL34

Schematic-derived preset files for 16 Fractal and Line 6 modelers: Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, Axe-Fx III, FM3, FM9, and the full Helix family (Floor, LT, Rack, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL, Native).

Gridleak extracts amp parameters from original circuit schematics using AI vision — component values, gain staging, tone stack topology, tube types — then generates native preset files for every supported modeler. Every extraction is scored 0–100 and the score is published.
