Does anyone know what the nominal output level of the SuperBooster's DI is? Given it's 12v, I was hoping it might have enough sauce to run a power amp. Looks like it probably would, but I don't see a "line level" switch anywhere there.

Never got an answer from Markbass about this, so I'll hold off and revisit when I have the funds to screw around with pedals some more. I am really thinking that an eq pedal and a super booster might be a great preamp though.

It would be great if the pedal had the power to drive a poweramp, I don't care whether it is the jack output or the XLR. |

The only boost comes from the Boost knob, the range of which is 0dB - 14dB. That seems pretty low. Most preamps I've looked at have a lot more than 14dB gain available. Markbass' Studio Pre has 50dB gain, and the Markbass heads can add +23dB gain at the preamp output.

I've thought about using my Maxon Cp9+ pro after one of these just to see what it would do. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
