Mad Professor Silver Spring Reverb

Pure analog signal path. Silver Spring Reverb (SSR) is a compact, easy to use digital/analog reverb with a pure analog direct signal path. It creates a natural sounding ambient reverb that will not get in the way of your original signal. The SSRâs sound is exceptional with a clean signal, but was specifically designed to work equally well with the tougher performance requirements of distorted tone. The SSR can be used before distortion, although it was primarily designed to go after. If you use the SSR before distortion, you may want to use a lower Reverb (Wet/Dry) setting.Built the Mad Professor way: small footprint and big tone.

Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay

The one for clean sound. The Mad Professor Amplificationâ Deep Blue Delay is a natural sounding digital / analog delay, with an analog direct signal path and has about the same bandwidth as the classic tape echo units which can be used in front of an amplifier or in amplifier effects loops. Since there are no noise reduction circuits it keeps decay of echoes as natural as possible also the signal has a tuned filtering to allow extreme settings without any interference. Furthermore: the delay is specially designed to work well with distorted tone, as this is the most critical application, where delays often fail!You can use the pedal before or after distortion. As such, it will work exceptionally well on clean sounds where requirements are less stringent, especially in terms of echo bandwidth and repeat formation.

Mad Professor Sweet Honey Overdrive

A unique Focus control lets you adjust the feel and dynamics of the pedal as well as overall EQ. Mad Professor Sweet Honey Overdrive (SHOD) is a touch sensitive low gain overdrive pedal hand made in Finland. It is designed to overdrive distorted amplifiers and give dynamically controlled light overdrive on clean sounds. Distortion level can be controlled by pick attack and pickup strength. Harder picking for overdrive and softer for cleaner tone. With low settings on the Focus control you need to pick harder to get distortion and in general the tone is softer, great for jazz and blues. Focus turned clockwise will result in a slight treble boost and earlier distortion.This type of overdrive has previously only been found in the BJF Honey Bee but is now presented in Mad Professor version. The Mad Professor SHOD has a tighter sound and is more versatile as it was designed to work with all kinds of guitars and amplifiers. Like all Mad Professor pedals, SHOD is hand made in Finland using only premium components, to give years of trouble free operation with superb musical tone.

Mad Professor Golden Cello

A Great sounding overdrive with a brilliant twist. The Golden cello pedal delivers a huge singing overdrive tone, with high quality tape echo type delay. To get this kind of tone anywhere else would cost you thousands of dollars and hours of knob twisting. Just plug your Golden cello into your clean amplifier, and youâll experience, mountainous, juicy lead tone at any volume level that only takes up one space on your pedal board. Sonic perfection is now in your hands and at your feet.

Mad Professor Royal Blue Overdrive

From light overdrive to an healthy distortion. The Royal Blue Overdrive offers wide range of tones from light overdrive into distortion and at lowest Distortion knob setting works as an EQ. It can also be used to create tube amp-like crunchy âstrike hard for distortionâ effect. There is not much filtering on the overdrive, to provide transparent tone that you can tailor with both the Treble and Bass controls.Like the best boutique amps, the Royal Blue OD lets you determine the amount of breakup by how hard you strike the strings with your pick, and/or by adjusting the volume knob on your guitar.The Royal Blue can add this level of expressiveness to any clean or slightly overdriven amplifier.
