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
strenght. Harder picking for overdrive and softer for cleaner tone.
With the unique Focus control you can adjust the feel and dynamics
of the pedal as well as overal EQ.
Turning Focus CCW you need to play harder to get distortion and
the tone is softer, great for jazz and blue.
Focus turned CW gives 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.
