I recieved my SF-2 Superfilter today, and I've already found some nice 'extreme' settings and I hope to play round with it alot. At this moment I have got two amps, so I was wondering if it's possible to play my bass through two amps, one on channel A and the other on channel B, each to be 'tweaked' separately. Maybe I just don't get it (hope to recieve the manual soon) but I just want to know how to use / connect the SF-2 in stereo... Thanks alot, Wilfred | ||

Wilfred, though the SF-2 is playable without a pre-amp, he can't "Split" sound. You 'll need a F1-x in crossover (or a preamp with a crossover added). and than the SF-2 and THAN 2 Power amps. Heb je al een handleiding Wilfred??? Ik wil de mijne wel copiëren hoor. Groeten Paul the bad one | ||

Wilfred: I have to respectfully disagree with Brother Paul TBO. The SF-2 can easily be used with two amps. In fact, I am sitting here with the manual schematics in front of me. There are two ways: 1. USING THE SF-2 AS A PRE-AMP: Plug your instrument into the front of the SF-2. Set it for "stereo" in back. Run "CH A OUT" to one amp, and "CH B OUT" to the second amp. (The pre-amp gain on the SF-2 can be set by an internal jumper to 0db, 10db, or 20db. Coming from the factory it is set at 10db gain). 2. USING ANOTHER PRE-AMP: Plug your instrument into your pre-amp. Run the output of the pre-amp into the back panel of the SF-2 at the "CH A IN" jack. THe SF-2 should also be set on "stereo". Just as above, run "CH A OUT" and "CH B OUT" to the two amps. I don't know how this will work with bass, but when running a guitar with two amps, it helps to fatten up the sound by putting a very short delay on one of the amps. Good luck, Bill, tgo | ||

Bil and Paul, thank you very much. I hope to recieve a manual soon from Alembic, but until then I'll manage just fine with the great help of this Club! I don't know how Mica, Ron and Susan feel about copying and/or digitalising the manual, hope to hear from them soon. Personally I think it'd be great if the manual was available digitally in the reference pages of the website. But as with travel a great deal of the fun is 'getting there' and I expect to have lots of fun ahead of me with this enigmatic device. The tweaker in me is very delighted! Wilfred | ||

Wilfred; although the manual is helpful, you are right; the tweaking is fun and it's really the only way to get to your tone. |
