What is the difference between a Match-bro and a Super-bro? Which is better?

The first "Match-Bro" had the "Match Box" circuitry built into them and had timbre and tone knobs. The "Match-Bro II" had the dobro effect preset at the factory and the timbre & tone adjusting knobs were eliminated along with the buffer circuit (this was the least expensive model). The "Super-Bro" was the last model and featured a full bypass switch along with a return to the timbre and tone knobs, but no buffer circuit.
This is the unit I have and really like. I use it in conjunction with their "Match Box"

Erv - Will the Hilton match device or pedal work as well as the Goodrich Match Box for this application with the Super-Bro?

Jerry,
I'm sure the Hilton will work with the Super-Bro. I think they pretty much work on the same principle.
