The Mother preamp is a recreation of its dual channel tube-powered namesake, but refined into pedal format. Just like the full-fledged amp, the Mother preamp is our modern take on the vintage high-wattage sounds of the early 70’s with added tonal range, control, and a voice all its own. The Mother preamp is designed to work equally well on your pedal board and into the front of your favorite amp, into a power amp, and recording interface/DAW (in conjunction with speaker emulation/IRs). The result is a wide-ranging utilitarian dual channel preamp that can add dimension and versatility to your rig with an eerily convincing Science signature tube tone.

Features:

  • Accurate tonal recreation of the dual channel Science Mother MkIII tube amplifier
  • All analog FET signal path for tube-like response and tone
  • Designed to accommodate both guitar and bass
  • Two footswitchable channels with independent Gain and Loudness controls
  • Shared Treble, Middle, Bass EQ section
  • Depth control to tailor front end bass response and feel
  • Absence control to smooth or emphasize harmonic content
  • Distinctly voiced dual outputs for use into the front of a guitar or bass amp, directly into a  power amp/effects return, or recording interface (when used in conjunction with speaker emulation)
  • External footswitch jack for remote channel switching (external switch sold separately)

Analog FET tube emulation
The Mother’s all tube signal path has been meticulously replicated in the Mother preamp using carefully selected field effects transistors (FETs) to accurately mimic the tone and response of tubes running at high voltage. The preamp responds to your playing dynamics and takes pedals in front without sacrificing headroom or harmonics, just like the amp would.

Dual Channel Tone Shaping 
The Mother’s two channels range from a wide open pedal-eating clean sound, to edge-of-breakup, and vintage crunch on Channel A. Taking off from there, Channel B goes through shades of gain into heavier saturation, never losing sight of its fundamental voice. The familiar feeling EQ section can be used for musical tone shaping or transforming the voice of your existing setup. The unique Depth control adjusts pre-drive low end content for tighter or thicker sounds, which can be used to accommodate your guitar’s pickups, the pedal’s overdrive texture, or how the preamp reacts to preceding pedals. The Absence control fine tunes the high frequency content at the end of the signal path, providing passive smoothing when turned up, or an active top end boost when turned down.

Discretely Voiced Outputs
With its independently voiced dual outputs, the Mother preamp can  integrate seamlessly with your existing setup, or be used as a stand alone preamp. The normal Output jack is voiced to work best into the front of your amp like a typical EQ or drive pedal, virtually adding two more channels to your setup. The Mother can also provide “always-on” tone shaping with one channel and an additional gain and volume boost with the second channel.

The Mother’s secondary Power Amp/Direct Out provides the full-range response of the amp, designed to work into a more neutral power amp or your amp’s effects return/preamp in, effectively turning your preamp pedal into a full amp setup for live use. Alternatively, this output can be run directly into a recording interface along with your choice of speaker emulation, providing a no-frills tactile analog amp sim.

Technical Specs:

  • Power: 9VDC center negative only, 150mA max
  • Input impedance at 1kOhms: 1Meg
  • Output impedance at 1kOhms: <500Ohms
  • Bypass: True-bypass with relay switching (mute for Power Amp/Direct Out)

Impressive quality with a high end look and feel
Size: Large, Color: Light Beige
This Amazon Essentials linen blend shirt is beautiful. The quality is on par with high end brand tops that I have, and it does not disappoint. The light beige color is flattering and very versatile. The quality of the material and stitching is top notch. The fabric of the shirt is 55% linen and 45% cotton which is fantastic for the warmer months. The breathability and comfort are unsurpassed. The top washes well in a cold cycle, and I hang it to dry. I find that steaming the shirt after it dries takes out any wrinkles and really softens the fabric. The size chart is accurate for a relaxed look as described, but if you prefer a more fitted look you may want to size down. The drawstring waist gives the top a fun and flattering peplum look with a beautiful drape to it. Overall, I am thrilled with this shirt and would highly recommend. At the current price of $21.00 this is an excellent deal for a high quality top at an extremely affordable price. I just wish this came in more colors!

As advertsied but not for me
Size: Small, Color: Light Beige
The shirt is exactly as advertised. I did not find it flattering on me, and likely won't be wearing it. That doesn't mean it is a bad shirt, it just isn't the right one for me. If you want something lightweight for summer and like this shirt style, this may be a good choice. Otherwise, find something you like more.

Relaxed Fit Linen Blend Button Down Shirt
Size: Large, Color: Light Beige, Size: Large, Color: Light Beige
I like this shirt and it actually looks better than it does in the attached photo. The shirt is 55% linen and I took the photo without ironing because I wanted to show that this shirt is better than many linen shirts when it comes to wrinkles. In fact, I can steam the wrinkles out and don’t need to drag out the iron. The shirt is cool and comfortable. I like that you can use the draw string waist to make it more fitted. The button holes are a little small, which makes it harder for those of us who have arthritis to use. I will just leave most of the buttons fastened and slip the shirt over my head. It seems very well made. I looked it over carefully and did not find any loose threads or missed stitches. I think this is a good value.

Cute summer top
Size: Large, Color: Light Beige, Size: Large, Color: Light Beige
Cute and comfortable linen blend shirt that’s perfect for summer. The fit is relaxed without looking oversized or sloppy, which I really like. I usually wear between a large and extra large depending on the chest area, and I ordered the large based on the size chart. It fit correctly according to the measurements, but I personally think the extra large may have been a little more comfortable for me through the bust. For reference, I’m around a 33-inch waist and a 42C bust. The light beige color is really pretty and easy to style with denim jeans, jean skirts, or sandals for a casual summer look. Since it’s a lighter-colored cotton-linen blend, you’ll want to wear the proper undergarments underneath depending on your skin tone, which is pretty normal for linen-style fabrics. I also love the adjustable cinched waist because it gives the shirt a more flattering shape without making it tight. Overall, it’s a beautiful lightweight top with a nice relaxed fit, and I definitely recommend it.

Linen/Cotton Blend; Machine Wash Cold, Lay Flat or Hang to Dry; Real Buttons
Size: Medium, Color: Light Beige, Size: Medium, Color: Light Beige
Amazon Essentials Women's Relaxed Fit Linen Blend Wide Sleeve Shirt with Adjustable Tie Waist Review: I got this for my daughter mostly (we trade clothes back and forth), and she finds it very comfortable and flattering. For reference, her measurements are about: 39 inches around the bust 35 inches around the hips/stomach  And 42 inches around the bottom   I ordered her a Medium, and it fits her very well, but it's on the edge of being big. If she lost a little weight, it might seem big but fit me a little better, but it fits her very well now. It's a very breathable fabric, and the cut is flattering. It is a little see through, not majorly, but she says she will probably wear it with a white or nude tank top as an underlayer, possibly with a bra too, but at that point it might be too hot for a summer outfit. It could be dressed up or down and would pair well with a skirt or jeans, with sandals or heels or cute sneakers. It could also be worn fully unbuttoned over a tank top, if one wanted. The buttons are real, and seem well-sewn. The collar is initially reluctant to stay open, but it will relax in time or one of us could iron it like that, but we're unlikely to, lol.   The only complaint she had was that when she goes to raise up her arms and hold them horizontally out in front of herself, the sleeves and shoulders become too tight across the back and up the arms, although this is a very common problem, unfortunately, with women's/girl's clothing. We'll have to live with it, but it will keep the shirt from being worn as often as it might have been. We're definitely happy for the natural fibers (a linen/cotton blend). We are both excited to wear and style it. I'll include photos.
