Mad Professor - Royal Blue Overdrive HW

The Mad Professor Royal Blue Overdrive HW pedal puts touch at the forefront, allowing you to switch from a clean sound to a more pronounced overdrive simply by varying your attack. Its circuitry maintains a natural response and minimises signal filtering, so as to preserve the character of your guitar and amp. With the Drive turned all the way down, it can also be used as a boost with EQ to liven up your sound without adding significant saturation.

The Drive knob covers a wide range of gain, from light crunch to more pronounced distortion, whilst remaining responsive to the nuances of your playing. Strum the strings more forcefully to increase the saturation, or turn down your guitar’s volume to achieve a softer tone without altering the pedal’s settings. The Bass and Treble controls complement this flexibility by separately adjusting the bass and treble frequencies, allowing you to achieve a rounder, brighter or better-balanced sound with your kit.

This Handwired edition features high-quality through-hole components, Alpha potentiometers and switches, and Switchcraft sockets, housed in a metal casing with top-mounted connectors. Handcrafted in Finland, it features true bypass and draws approximately 3.5 mA at 9 V DC, making it easy to integrate into a pedalboard.
