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)

Best price for better tasting coffee
Color: Silver
I am a coffee snob. I only get beans. I have been using a magic bullet blender to grind, which actually does extremely well, but the grind wasn't quite even enough. So I found the cheapest, ok quality grinder I could and bought this one. I absolutely love it. It take a while to grind, and it only does a little at once, but whatever. This thing works great and my grounds are now even. The burrs seem to be of decent quality and the whole device works smoothly.

Reliable favorite kitchen tool
Color: Blue
This wonderful tool may be the most used tool in our kitchen. The hardest thing about it is to remember you can push the button and it runs- you don't have to hold it!. The charge on the rechargable battery last a long time- about 1 recharge per month- and we use it daily. We use the mixer attachment most. It works great for protein powders, collagen, iced tea or lemonade mix. It cleans easily and is waterproof- just make sure the cover is over the charging port. We have used it to froth milk, whip eggs, and as I said we use it daily to mix beverages. I worried about the price, but it is a great value because we bought it in December 2024 and it is more powerful and has already lasted longer than two whimpy ones.

Quality
Color: Black
This is by far the best frother I've used. Battery life is great. Its UX is excellent. Feels nice in the hand and has great power. Also like the on/off button as opposed to haveing to hold a switch down. Looking forward to getting their s3 scale.

Overall good frother
Color: Black
Bought the Maestri and the Zulay frother to test which one is better since both had good reviews. Returned the Zulay (see Zulay review) and kept the Maestri. Been using it for a few days now and works well. Mixes chai and hot chocolate well. It has one speed that is a good speed to mix, but not so fast that it causes the drink to spill over the top as long as the cup is filled to about 80% full. Because I tend to use the tall 20 oz Contigo autoseal cups, it could benefit from offering longer attachments to reach the bottom of the cup (note: that I did not find any company that offers longer attachment arms).

LOVE this frother and the creamy results!
Color: Black
I LOVE this gadget! And I'm not a gadget person. Since I got it a few days ago, I've switched from using my Nespresso coffee maker, which uses pods and which I really like, to using Starbucks instant coffee packets (cheaper and more environmentally friendly than pods). I put a packet of the coffee and two packets of Equal in a cup, add half and half, then use this frother to mix them. Within a few seconds -- no more than 5, if that -- I have a thick mound of creamy froth. Then I had the water to finish making the coffee. Fantastic. This thing is so easy and fun to use. This is not the cheapest frother available. I wanted a rechargeable unit that has sufficient power to make nice, creamy froth. Also, I didn't want to spend $10 and have the thing break and have to replace it. Reviews suggest the cheaper ones are fine if you don't regularly use a frother. I never used one before and didn't really think I would use it very often. But I like it so much, I've been using it twice a day. Also, I first saw one in use while traveling in India. Another guest at my small hotel had one, which she used to make a latte with rather than drink the rather tepid offering at the more tea-oriented hotel. That's when I decided to get one. I'll be taking it on future trips. Some come with travel containers; this one didn't. The only learning curve was making sure the cup or pitcher for the cream is deap enough not to splash out the cream. I think I'm actually using a little less cream than I used to because the volume increases so much. I use cold cream, not heated (I used to heat it in the microwave when I was using the NesPresso.) I find I like the initial contrast with the cold cream at the top, then I stir it down into the coffee. The Starbucks coffee is excellent. I've used it for iced lattes in the past, so I knew it was good. I can hardly wait for a heat wave to make them with this frother. I did try to beater attachment in eggs when I was making an omelet. Not worth the trouble -- first, the bowl I was using to beat the eggs was too shallow and egg got all over. Second, a fork works just as well. If I were whipping cream, I would definitely use it.
