Super 100

The Super 100 is a preamp/overdrive emulating a mid-to-late 1960s 100-watt Marshall Super Lead (Plexi). It puts stadium rock tones in a pedal — targeting the cranked Plexi sound of Jimmy Page with a Les Paul and Hendrix with a Strat.

Six controls in two rows: Volume, Drive, Bass, Middle, Treble (three-band EQ), and Sag. The Sag knob controls an optical compressor/limiter circuit — clockwise tightens the output, counter-clockwise permits full, punchy, wall-shaking dynamics. Chimey articulation and transparent dynamic feel even at max drive. Not a buzz-saw distortion, more of a big, round, slightly chunky quality.

Responds to guitar volume and picking dynamics like a real amp. Gold powder-coated brushed aluminum enclosure with Marshall-style knobs. True bypass. 9V battery or standard DC adapter. Handmade in Milwaukee.
