I'm interested in hearing a Super 100 demo. Anybody up to the task? Even just some noodling on your favorite setting would be appreciated... The pedal seems quite similar, conceptually, to the EAE model feT, so I'm curious where the differences lie.
I'd really appreciate videos of the S100 and others *cough400cough* too.
I would expect the EAE to be more gainy, with broader eq curves. A more muscular, fat kind of sound. Where as the S100 should be more focused, refined and clear with possibly more bite.
Alas I've never had the chance to play either pedal yet... however, I HAVE played the amps from which they are derived!
Woo-hoo shipping notification!
Apparently Tim got slammed with orders in Nov/Dec.

Slammed with orders + crazy busy at the day job means i literally have like maybe an hour left at the end of the day to build.
Slowly starting to make a dent in the backlog tho.
Thanks for being patient.

I just pulled the trigger on a Super 400 from Moon Bass in the classifieds. Really looking forward to getting it in hand and seeing how it sounds. I rocked a Mesa 400+ for years back in the late 90's/early 2000's and I'm hoping this is going to allow me to get that same tone. Hell, I may go back and start covering my old originals lol.
That’s the one I’ve been the most interested in so I’m interested to hear your thoughts.
I posted this previously, but if you find there is too much drive for you even with the Gain quite low Tim suggested to me messing with Trimpot 1 inside which can lower the Gain at the expense of some output. IIRC, turning UP that little trim a bit got it right where I wanted with my Super 400. I think it’s a great pedal, and the tone with the two “Shift” controls engaged is something I’d previously never got from any Fender-type preamp outside my old 400+ and still my favorite tones in that box.
Just got it today and I'm DEFINITELY going to have to do that. Every bass I own is active. So turning it up brings down the gain?
Yeah I’m pretty sure I remember that correctly! When I got mine it would drive really early on the dial even with my pretty low-output passives so I emailed him right away
Super 100 ordered! SF-72 is on my radar too, but the 100 seems a little more useful to me.
Yeah, trim pot #1. It's better but still far from useable with the majority of my basses. I'm going to ping Sensei Tim and see what he suggests.
Do you have the Bright switch turned off? That one adds a lot of gain in my experience. Also (I’m sure you know this, but worth checking)- “Volume” is Gain and “Level” is output volume (I would have assumed opposite just based on the pedal orientation, though it makes sense if you think of it in terms of signal-flow rather than reading left to right!).
