fretmeister Posted February 14, 2023 Author Posted February 14, 2023 It's not just a pre - it's got some fx and it runs as an interface too. It's expensive but not out of the norm for similar devices. The world has got very expensive over the last couple of years. 4 Quote
NoirBass Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 I’ve been waiting for this for a while. I’ve just had a quick look through the manual online and it looks like it’ll load IRs too. I can’t seem to see if any are installed by default though? Quote
Daz39 Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 Just spotted @Dood’s facebook post about it. Looks pretty clever. 1 1 Quote

This one is most important though. It’s the only GAS I’ve had in months. My bassrig could be in trouble. 1 1 Quote
lee650 Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 I wished I'd had this when I was running a Bergantino IP112 with an AE112 would have been amazing. Maybe an updated version of that power speaker to go with this would be cool. I know its probably pointless as you can get the Berg heads now. Quote

To be clear it will pass the signal into an amp but stops short at being a USB audio interface. I'd have liked that. Still looks good but yes, things are not that affordable anymore! Quote
Dood Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 I have one on the way right now for a full video review, (expect nothing less from me!) so, keep ya eyes peeled! 4 Quote
EBS_freak Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Tonex. Surely this pre is dead before it's even begun? Quote

Stepping aside from Bergantino for a moment. I was only reading a comment from a facebooker yesterday saying they owned the Helix Stomp for a matter of days and had to send it back because it was way too complicated. Pedals such as Super Pre could (for many) bridge the gap between a fully featured analogue pedal and the multi-effects market. (especially the top tier processors such as Helix, Quad Cortex and the axe effects). Yes, I understand the price point versus ToneX, but then Bergantino are no mass-produced factory brand and neither are the likes of Overwater, Barefaced and Tech 21. With that comes an understanding of the costs involved that have to be passed on. The preamp on B|Amp sounds awesome, it's brilliant, so Super Pre is going to make a lot of people's ears "smile" I am sure. 3 Quote
EBS_freak Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 I watch with interest. Will keep an eye open for the video. Quote
Owen Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 I am that bloke with the Helix Thang. I just get overwhelmed by choice and sold mine without even using it in anger. I now have an analogue preamp and a TC Spectracomp. Quote

The unit accepts 9-12V and whenever this happens the higher voltage is usually recommended. Maybe I didn't need the Cioks DC-7 I just ordered. Look forward to your feedback.

bassfan Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) Tested (albeit through headphones) sounds like the BAmp. Well made. Looks great. I won’t use half the features it has but I’ve already programmed in my settings for main funk and slap. If I have one criticism it’s that different presets/banks can’t have different speaker profiles. Unless @Doodcan tell me different. Would love to be proved wrong. Apart from that. I love it but then I’m a berg fan. 🤷🏻♂️ just to add a little more. The best tone I ever had had was a gig using my Mesa m6 and berg cn212, I then bought a BAmp and that was equally as good. I got more comments on my tone whilst using that than I ever used to. We then went wholly in ears and no back line. I missed the cab and tone of my rig but it sounded great out front using just my BAmp for a while then a bassrig. Now comes the super pre. The BAmp in a pedal. I loved the compression, tuber, distortion and fuzz when needed but more importantly for me the eq. I have a wedding to play Saturday, can’t wait to hear it cut through the mix !

Just to answer your question, like the B|Amp, the speaker files (profiles) are static (page 15 in the manual specifies what can be saved in a preset) but, maybe it’s something that can be implemented. I’m video chatting to Jim again soon, so if I remember, I’ll run it by him. last time we talked for nearly 4 hours solid!! Honestly:) 1 Quote
