Mad Professor - Sky Blue Overdrive
Mad Professor Sky Blue Overdrive (SBOD) is a very unique four knob pedal
designed to overdrive already distorted amplifiers as well as provide light
overdrive or soft distortion on clean sounds.
Special feature on this pedal is that you can adjust the feel and dynamics
with Texture and Z knobs. The Texture allows changing
how and when circuit distorts as well as adjusting overall EQ.
The Z is a control that creates an adjustable load to the
instrument connected to the SBOD input. With standard passive pickup loaded
guitars dialing this control will adjust the upper resonant peak of the
pickups. It also affects the taper of the volumecontrol on the guitar,
adjusting how the tone cleans up when using the guitar volume knob.
Like all Mad Professor pedals SBOD is hand made in Finland
using only premium components, to give years of trouble free operation
with superb musical tone.
Controls
VOLUME:sets the output volume of the effect
DISTORT.: controls the distortion or overdrive effect
Z: is a control that creates an adjustable load to the instrument
connected to the SBOD input. With standard guitars dialing this control
will adjust the upper resonant peak of the pickups and also affect the
taper of the volumecontrol on the guitar for easy setting of clean to
distorted just from the volume control of guitar. This effect is masked
if SBOD is driven by a buffered output such as from another guitar pedal
or from active pickups
TEXTURE: allows changing how and when the circuit
distorts as well as adjusting overall EQ. Dialing this control appears
to adjust midrange, while it gives this impression from adjusting compression.
Turning CCW gives more saturated effect that is easily distorted, turning
CW gives a slight treble boost and less compression
(compression is used here to describe density of distortion since overall
sound may be distorted throughout the dial)
