I don't think so. Last we heard of the 100 was when Tim mentioned that he was going to change the circuit to try and fit it in a smaller enclosure.

My Super 800 arrived yesterday and I'm learning as I go.I have been getting clean sounds but I love the tones.
It has been decades since I've played through an GK-RB 800 so all I have are memories of liking it at the time.I don't know what rails is or how to get there but the tone I'm getting is powerful and cutting.I bet slappers love this amp-preamp.Once I get an idea of things it's going to be terrific, because now I'm only in the getting to know you stage.
To steal the last line from Casablanca; "This could be the start of a beautiful friendship".

I think I have it! Earlier a forum mate replied to my query on "Rails"stating that I use the breakdown from G&Rs Welcome to the Jungle for example.. The part where it's only bass while Axl says "welcome to the jungle baby, you're gonna die"! Well if that's infact the "Rails"tone then I've found it.
A bit of bass heaven.
Not sure how this slipped past me, but I'd never heard of Master Effects / Tim until last week. Over the last couple years, I've had this bug in the back of my head that surely someone could make a Peavey Mace in a box style pedal (I play bass and guitar, and this was coming from my guitar brain). I figured it was too niche of an idea to ever exist though. Out of the blue, I googled "peavey mace pedal" last week, and wouldn't you know Tim created one 6 months ago, the Virge. I've got one ordered, so I guess that makes me a pending member of this club. Glad to hear all the positive feedback on his pedals. Sounds like he makes some great bass preamp pedals too. I did reached out to Tim to ask about the phaser circuit in the original Mace, as it's one of the killer features of that circuit, but he said that unfortunately it had a lot of obsolete parts and so was not included in the Virge design. I'll follow up here when I get it, should anyone be curious.
SF-72s return in 2022 with 125B enclosure.
Take my money. and then take it again once the Super 100 comes outSF-72s return in 2022 with 125B enclosure.
It was a toss up between this and the Super 300. I snagged a Super 300 from the classifieds and should be receiving it tonight!! I'll give my thoughts once I'm able to dial it in with one of my bands at volume.SF-72s return in 2022 with 125B enclosure.
I only heard of master effects less than 2 weeks ago.
I miss the tone from my SVT3pro from years ago so I'm hoping I can get a similar tone going through my Berg Forte HP (don't care for the super modern clean coming from that amp).
I was a fairly early adopter of the Super 300, and love it. I've been holding out for the Super 100, and will probably jump on that as well.
It depends on the drives you're using, but I generally get the best results putting overdrives before the Super 300, and fuzzes after it. Fuzzrocious Li'l Fella->Super 300->some kind of Big Muff has been my favorite drive chain for a while.

I just ordered a Super 800 Plus. I had been considering a Plex but from everything that I have read and heard the Super 800 is a better option for me. The wait begins..
I've tried a few boosts and high gain pedals before the S300, and it wants to compress the hot signal, so I tend to use it before those pedals. I suggest experimenting with its placement in the pedal chain.
Those are Lightning Boy Audio (LBA) Thunderknob pedals. One has a 12AX7 and has a great overdrive, and the other has a 12AU7 which adds some tube goodness.
I've finally figured this baby out.Getting Rails now.It took some research but it is totally worth it.
Can I see them?
This gives me the starting to breakup sound.I'm sure it can be refined but afaik master over noon and boost at three o'clock,boost needs to be high.I have the boost switch up along with mid contour.
