9V so far.
I'm thinking 12V would help give it some cleaner headroom with my G&LS.
Right out the gate, it's definitely more versatile than the Saturn VI.
The Saturn is already an excellent pedal, but if you're looking for more tone-shaping abilities, the Redstone is where it's at.
I have no experience with the FlipTop, but the tone you described is easily attainable with the Redstone. It can also do the transparent dirty boost like the Saturn.
The SV-Pre has enough of it's own flavor that I wouldn't say that it would get booted in favor of the Redstone.
I'm curious to see how you like it. I bought a Saturn VI after watching your YouTube video on it.

Good info, good info….

Interesting take on the SV-Pre. I love it for the tone I’m getting in the role I gave it, but sometimes I wish I could get that tone with just a little more fullness and low end in it. But I can make that up with my basses so I’m still quite happy with it. However, I love the FlipTop in the role I gave it even more than I love what I’m getting from the SV-Pre. And that’s really saying something because I was previously using a Bearfoot FX Blueberry for that tone and never thought it would get bumped off my board.
Gotta think about what I want to do. I’m drooling over multiple bass-related toys right now, including two basses, and the Redstone seems to be muscling it’s way onto that list. Can’t buy ‘em all, though.

If you feel there's a lack of low-end "oomph", there's no shortage with the Redstone.[NODDING HEAD IN NEAR HYPNOTIC AGREEMENT]

I haven't even hit noon with it, and it's already super fat.
Plenty of heft.
Back-read your post about the role you have for the SV-PRE.[NODDING HEAD IN NEAR HYPNOTIC AGREEMENT]

Yup. Dirtier and brighter than how you set the Saturn VI, but with more low-end on tap.
Thanks! I’ll do a video for sure on this one too. I need to hit up spaceman about an affiliate link… haha
Need to add a caveat to this.
There is a lot of interaction between the EQ, like you'd expect from an FMV tone stack.
With bass at 9, and mid below noon for a bit of scoop, it's very deep.
I know I'm still in the honeymoon phase, and
my findings may change as I spend more time with this pedal.
However, I do think Spaceman hit a home run with this pre.

Confirmed.
12V is where it's at.
Especially if you're running a higher output bass.
Well, sounds like this is one I’ll want to try. Now to figure out the toy priorities….
Appreciate the input!

I kinda feel bad dumping all this gushiness about it on you guys.
For full disclosure, SE absolutely did not pay me for my feedback. I'm just a very enthusiastic customer.
I'll take it.
My buddy @Mktrat says the same about me, and my ability to talk him into buying pedals.
