  • This is great and super helpful- i have the HP Forte and a REFII12 and 15 for when i need an amp, also have several pre-amp pedals for when I am ampless but have just ordered a SuperPre. I've never before managed to get a perfect DI pedal- the Nordstrand Starlifter is superb but too clean and has a stupid 15v AC power supply which i can never find. The JHS ColourBox is ok but not great. I like my EBS Stanley Clark for acoustic but not ideal for electric bass. As always, if you buy Bergantino it ends all other need for other gear. It's just the best and works out cheaper in the long run.

  • Hi Dan,
    Thank you for the thorough insightful review.
    I bought and collected my super pre yesterday, and have managed to already loaded six different basses into six different memory slots, ranging from two fretless to four fretted going from cheap and cheerful to two Wals via a Fender jazz. Five of them sound better than I have ever heard them sound, and I think the sixth one will eventually respond to further tweaking!
    Only two problems really:- personally I would like to be able to restore each single memory to the factory condition, so that I could start each one from scratch. This is not really a problem, and Jim Bergantino suggested that on initial switch on I should store the information in a slot I named “FACTORY “, and use as a pattern to modify and then store at a different location. This was before I bought the unit, and I didn’t realise how easy it is to program each memory. I certainly DON’T think it’s a good idea to do a factory reset:- you would lose all the things you don’t want to lose. The only other problem I can see is a switch on ( or off) bang, even muted and with gain and master fully off.
    Great review!

  • Dan-
    Thanks so much for reviewing this pre-amp. You explained this very clearly and have mastered all the knobs. Its sounds great. My question centers around the Berg B/AMp sitting in the background. I too have a B/Amp(running 6.2), and it seems the super-pre is a stompbox version of the B/Amp. Is the Super Pre that different or more feature-rich to justify a purchase, if you already own a B/Amp ?
