What generation is my Catalinbread SFT

[Squanch72]

Is this model considered second generation or first generation? I previously had a first generation with the old solid blue graphic. I know the newest model has the Ampeg faceplate graphics. I am just wondering that my model, which I assume is the middle model, is when the second generation started or not till the faceplate graphics came out. I read that the second generation models have higher gain and my model does seem to have more gain than the first generation model I had.

I believe that is still 1st gen.
This is second gen.

This is the first model I owned.

Also, I've read mostly that the difference in generations of the pedals seem to be more in the range of EQ, with the 1st generation focused more on a low-mid bump as opposed to the high-mid voicing of second gen. I own the second gen that I posted the image for, but have been very curious what the earlier pedals might do different.

As far as the perceived difference in gain of your two different versions, I'm not sure. Maybe just the difference of two pedals manufactured with a slight variance as opposed to different hardware(?)

Plus since I sold one and bought the new one I can't compare the two, so I may just think I am hearing more gain.

I believe the white knob version came first, then the royal blue one, and the navy/silver one is current.
