Jeter Gain Stage

[Ken Swanson]

Is anybody else still waiting on their gainstage pedal?

[Funky Monkey]

Yep, but I just ordered 12/15. Says will ship 4-7 days, and 7 days is tomorrow. We'll see. I guess at this point I am starting to have a hard time with misleading lead times. When did you order?

Ordered mine Dec 4th still no pedal. I sent and email after 10 days and was told to read my invoice . Emailed back, gave them the invoice number and was told they're working on it.
I'm about ready to request a refund. They didn't advertise a wait time.

In there defense, they did have orders before they were even on the site and before they were ready for them. It was a freakin feeding frenzy. I'm really not surprised they're behind right now.

My invoice definitely reads "4-7 days".
Actually, it is in red text and read exactly "Will ship in 4-7 days."
Today is the seventh day.

I ordered mine nov.29th, and was also told it will ship in 4 to 7 days. Still haven't seen it or heard from them. Hope this thing is worth the wait!

Mine apparently shipped today. UPS tracking hasn't updated for me to confirm, but if it really did, it was 6 days past the long end of my original quote. I did however ask for a refund just last night. While I'm not saying that this is what I believe moved it along, it is quite a coincidence.

I got mine today. Well packaged and great documentation. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow.....

Holidays have slowed just about every buisness, especially UPS . I know of a friend whose guitar is sitting in storage until the 2nd because of the Denver storm.

Patience Ken...It's worth the wait....just got mine as well...an amazing pedal.....Brad builds them all by hand himself, then overnights them from Atlanta to Mass, then Guitarfetish ships them out...The quality of workmanship and tone is in step with the original Bedrock amps he used to build....I've now run the Gain stage through my CAA OD-100, Classic, my Fuchs TDS, a Two Rock Emerald Pro, and my Fargen VOS...All these amps sounded great with the pedal...even on the overdrive channels!!! they worked well on the clean channels as well...The pedal really does sound like part of the amp...great articulate singing tone....Well worth the wait...in my opinion

I also like the way it pushes whatever comes afterward (amp or pedal), especially with the switches set to "HARD" and "l" or "ll"

I've actually settled on using my Gain Stage @ 12v, via my PP2+. I find it's more detailed, with a glassier edge. The difference between Hard & Soft is a bit more pronounced, in a good way, IMO, as is the difference in I vs II. The bass is also a bit tighter.

Just got mine. I'd like to run it in front of an AC30CC1 set to a clean tone. What settings would you suggest for dialing in a great tone from this pedal?

[Macaroni]

There are 3 primary Gain areas... around 9:00 for a cleanish, edge of breakup OD, around 12:00 for a nice singing OD that's not over the top, and around 3:00 for the violin type OD.

Try starting with the Gain @ 12:00. Set the switches to Soft & I for the most mellow base setting, set the Volume to match your setup, say around 2:00 or so to start, and set the Tone to taste, according to your setup/desires - maybe start around 12:00 and tweak from there.

Play with that setting for a bit, and then change the switch to Hard to see what difference that makes - you'll get it right away - a stronger edge to the front end of the notes, more definition, and a bit bolder overall feel.

Then put the switch back to Soft and set the other switch to II, to hear what changes in the Gain circuitry that setting does. Then finally, set the switch to Hard & II and you'll hear what that setting does.

Then you can just play around with different Gain settings and switch combinations to find all the variations available.

One setting that I like is Volume @ 2:00, Gain @ 10:00, Tone @ 10:00-11:00, Hard + II.

Macaroni, You can run it at 12 volts? how many milliamps??
