Mad Professor Mighty Red (Finland)

The team's opinion: The Mad Professor Mighty Red will amaze you! Many brands have tried to emulate (with varying degrees of success) the legendary Marshall JCM800. The Mad Professor brand, renowned for its high-end effects and amplifiers, has decided to look into it in turn in order to offer its interpretation. And what a success! It is always tricky to define a sound in writing, but to sum up: Despite the "basic" settings, this pedal manages to transcribe the feeling of the JCMs of the time in a very faithful way. During the first quarter of the gain knob, we are in the field of crunch.

A thick and perfectly defined crunch, allowing you to play your guitar knobs in order to obtain subtle variations. Within a group, this setting (combined with the presence knob) will allow you to stand out from the mix without pushing the volume. Beyond half of the gain stroke, we enter the domain of saturation. A saturation halfway between a modern and vintage sound, allowing you to approach hard-rock like Guns N'Roses to 80's metal like Iron Maiden.

The Mad Professor Mighty Red will definitely find its place in your pedalboard! It is an excellent alternative to the  Diamond Cornerstone.
