Marc says: “The Super 100 is based on the heavy and throaty sound of a mid-to-late-60’s era 100 Watt British tube amp.

The Super 100 responds very much like a tube amp would to your pickup volumes and to the impact of running other effect pedals in front of it.

Run it by itself or stacked with your favorite drive, boost, or fuzz

I worked on this sound so that it would do justice to the cranked-amp live tones of Hendrix and Page and made sure it didn’t go too far so it would remain firmly grounded in the 60’s era (in other words, you will have to push it with a booster or fuzz or distortion or overdrive to get it over the top, just like you would have to with a Marshall Super Lead). It has a certain “big, round” quality, just slightly chunky, as opposed to the ultra-streamlined, slick distortion of the later JCM-800 series amps popularized by 80’s metal bands. Yes, it distorts, but not in the way of a buzz saw. Rather it tends to hold together and render some chiminess even at max drive.”

via TGP:

“What I went for in the case of the Super 100 was that state at which the amp is saturated but not pushed over the edge into a wall of fuzz. It retains the chime and articulation whilst being pretty much as distorted as you could get otherwise, and its eq is set up so that everything holds together and maintains a tightness and integrity and a harmonically-rich pick attack. But push it just a tiny bit with a booster of some sort or a high-output pickup or active pickups, and you’ve just gone into liquid territory, but the output volume remains the same–meaning that it is right exactly at that line of saturation. So barring any goosed signal, it holds together and still has a very dynamic, lively response to your picking and isn’t a super-compressed liquid sustain.”
