Whether your lab is the studio or the stage and your experiments are in rock, metal or blues, you need the right equipment in order to get the best results. Enter Mad Professor Amplification. This Finland-based company began in 2002 as a subsidiary of BJFE Guitar Effects, and has since carved out a name in musicians' circles as manufacturers of fine hand-wired pedals, factory pedals and amplifiers.
Mad Scientist Effects offer many of their pedals in two versions, hand-wired and pcb; the main difference is price but the quality is the same. Many musicians simply prefer the old-school touch of a person-assembled product. With a huge variety of effects, there's something for every style of musician. Looking to add reverb and distortion to your performances? The 1 Guitar Effects Pedal is a factory-made pedal that uses both effects to mimic the "brown sound" of artists in the late 1970's and early 1980's. The distortion control ranges from medium to very heavy, while the Brown knob controls the harmonic overtones, so you can find your perfect levels to achieve the sound you seek.
For those who are looking for an even, equal tremolo to enhance their sound, the Hand Wired Mellow Yellow Tremolo Pedal is a lot of fun. This compact accessory provides a true sine wave tremolo effect to your shows and recordings, resulting in a smooth, consistent swelling sound. The modulation speed, depth and level knobs let you create your own signature sound and the symmetrical modulation is ideal for blending with either clean or distorted tones.
If you're looking for a truly special boutique pedal, the Hand Wired Tiny Orange Phaser is certainly worth a look. Made specifically for electric guitar, this pedal has three dials to control the modulation speed, phaser mix and tone resonance. The hand matched wires and circuit parts deliver an exceptionally even, musical tone any season guitarist can appreciate.
Loved by artists as diverse as Children of Bodom, the late Nick Curran and Matt Schofield, Mad Professor Amplification makes pedals to achieve whatever effects best suit your style. Each pedal is compact to fit your setup, brightly-colored for quick differentiation and of the highest quality to deliver boutique-quality sound.
