Description

The Mad Professor Super Black Preamp & Overdrive Pedal is currently retailing at £249.99 and it is out of stock. Available to be delivered to you by post direct (some charge may apply).The team at Just Pedals think that Mad Professor nailed it with the Mad Professor Super Black Preamp & Overdrive Pedal.

The Mad Professor Super Black is essentially a Fender Blackface – in a box! Carefully replicating the amp's signal path, Mad Professor designed the Super Black to allow players to easily turn their amplifiers into vintage '60s Fender glory!

While the Super Black works well straight into the front-end of your amp, don’t be afraid to also plug it into the return jack of your amp's effects loop. This way, you can bypass the preamp of your amp and get the sound of a full Blackface signal path without the colour of your amp's preamp stage.

Here's what Mad Professor says about the Super Black Pedal:

Classic Blackface Tones

Super Black is an amp-in-a-box pedal that will deliver the punchy, mid scooped and sparkling chimey clean tone that Fender Blackface amplifiers are famous for. And this might be the most sought after Fender sound! It'll also deliver the most beautiful and amp-like break up tone you could imagine. Gain and Volume controls make it easy to find the sweet spot and nail this iconic tone at any volume; still retaining full clarity.

Fender Blackface amps, when pushed nearly all the way, produce fantastic classic overdriven tones as well. At this point, even the smallest models are fairly loud though. Enter the Mad Professor Super Black and you have a rocking machine at your feet at any volume.

Bass & Compression Switches

We at Mad Professor Amplification noticed some variation in the amounts of both low end and compression, depending on the model when we looked at both big and small Blackface amps. Therefore we added two mini switches, one for the bass and one for compression. You get to tailor these characteristics, whether you want more or less, by adjusting these two switches.

Sweet Honey Overdrive Circuit

And there is more! We added our best-selling overdrive pedal, Sweet Honey Overdrive, to boost the front end of the Super Black. Sweet Honey Overdrive pedal into a Blackface amp is a magic combination! Now you have even more possibilities when you are fine-tuning your overdriven tones with the rest of your gear. Having its own on/off switch plus Volume and Drive controls means you can use the Sweet Honey circuit separately too!

Controls

  • Middle & Treble: Adjustments for amount of middle and high frequencies in the preamp section.
  • Bass: Adjusts the amount of the low frequencies.
  • Presence: Adjust the amount of high frequencies at pedal output.
  • Gain: Adjusts the amount of distortion in Blackface side.
  • Drive: Adjusts the amount of distortion in Sweet Honey side.
  • Volume: Sets the output level (x2, one for Blackface side and one for Sweet Honey

Overdrive

Overdrive is a popular guitar effect that creates a warm, distorted sound by amplifying the signal of an electric guitar, typically using a pedal or an amp’s built-in circuit. The effect simulates the natural distortion that occurs when a tube amplifier is pushed to its limit, creating a rich, harmonic response that adds sustain, warmth, and character to the tone. Overdrive pedals are commonly used to add grit and growl to a clean tone without the harshness of full distortion.

The overdrive effect works by boosting the input signal, causing the amplifier to break up and clip the waveform, resulting in a smooth, musical distortion. This is often more subtle and less aggressive than other forms of distortion, making overdrive pedals ideal for blues, classic rock, and country players who seek a dynamic sound that responds to their playing touch. Overdrive pedals can be used in conjunction with other effects like delay and reverb to shape a more complex, evolving sound. Popular overdrive pedals include the Ibanez Tube Screamer, the Fulltone OCD, and the Boss OD-3, each offering different tonal characteristics, from smooth and bluesy to punchy and aggressive.

Pedal

A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.

This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.

Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.

Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.

Preamp

A preamp pedal boosts the guitar signal to line level before it reaches an amplifier, shaping the tone and adding warmth, character, or gain. Preamp pedals can be used to simulate the sound of an amplifier’s preamp stage, providing overdrive, distortion, or clean tone shaping. They can also be used to drive amplifiers harder or to add tonal colour and EQ adjustments. Some preamp pedals are designed to mimic classic amp sounds, such as those from Fender, Marshall, or Vox, while others offer more modern, transparent tones. Well-known preamp pedals include the Tech 21 SansAmp, Electro-Harmonix Soul Food, and MXR M81 Bass Preamp, making them a useful tool for tone shaping in both live performances and studio work.
