MAD PROFESSOR DEEP BLUE DELAY
Deep Blue Delay is a natural sounding digital/analog delay, with analog direct signal path.
The Deep Blue Delay has about the same bandwidth as the classic tape echo units, and it can be used in front of an amplifier or in amplifier effects loops.
There are no noise reduction circuits, which keeps decay of echo as natural as possible.
The direct signal path is short and made with analog amplifiers with no filtering.
There should be no distortion or tone coloration as long as input level is in range below maximum allowed.
The echo signal has a tuned filtering to allow extreme settings without interference.
The delay is specially designed to work well with distorted tone, as this is the most critical application, where delays often fail.
You can use the pedal before or after distortion. As such, it will work exceptionally well on clean sounds where requirements are less stringent, especially in terms of echo bandwidth and repeat formation.
The delay tone has been carefully tuned with lot of attention to the first critical reflection and how the repeats decay.
Deep Blue Delay is kept small (Width x Length x Height :69mm x 111mm x 50mm including jacks and knobs) containing just the basic delay features; Delay Time, Delay Level and Repeat controls. It was designed to work as an ambience delay; like that of a vintage tape echo and the repeat formation was specifically designed to allow easy setting and less critical setting of delay time. With delay times higher than 120ms, the delay time is sometimes set on the beat or on a multiple of the beat. Deep blue handles this by not giving full range repeats, but a tuned response that don't need to be on the beat to sound good.
Why digital? Isn't Analog better for a solid-state solution?
Well, in many ways, the delay medium is less critical and it could be an oil-drum, tape, metal-thread, analog BBD or digital, but the final sound is always set by the limitations of the delay medium and the peripheral circuitry needed to make either work. We chose Digital construction to make it compact, stable, with reasonable delay time and virtually service free, where the limitations of the circuit would be less critical. As an outcome, you can set the peripheral circuitry with desired bandwidth and distortion levels with less consideration on the exact limits of the delay medium, while of course always pushing the limits, as with anything musical.
A similar circuit in analog form would be excessively more expensive to make. For the same performance, it would require three to four of the best BBD chips now only available as vintage parts and the size of the pedal would have to be about three times the current size.
CONTROLS:
LEVEL: Sets the level of delayed signal mixed with straight guitar tone, fully CCW there is only straight (un-effected) guitar signal heard and fully CW gives the loudest delay.
DELAY: Controls the delay time from 25ms (fully CCW) to 600ms (fully CW)
REPEAT: Controls the repeats of the delay signal, fully CCW gives one repeat and at fully CW you get infinite feedback.
Electrical specifications:
Current consumption: 25 to 32 mA depending on delay setting
Voltage range 8V to 15V (below 7,5 V delay signal will be muted)
Input impedance IZ: 180K Ohm's
Output drive capability 10K Ohms
Maximum input voltage 2V peak 650mV rms
Signal to noise ratio 80dB
Delay time approximately 25mS to 600mS
Power requirement supplied via 2,1 mm standard jack

Sweet Honey Overdrive
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.
Controls: VOLUME: sets the output volume DRIVE: controls the amount of overdrive. FOCUS: Controls how easily the circuit distorts as well as adjusting overall EQ. Turning CCW gives less distortion and a mellow effect, turning CW gives a slight treble boost and earlier distortion. Good starting point is 11 o’clock.
Electrical specifications: Supply voltage range: 7,5 to 18VDC
Current consumption at 9VDC: 5 mA
Input inpedance: 260K
Output impedance: 25K Ohm's

The only complaint Mad Professor pedals have ever gotten is that….they’re expensive. OK, here at PGS we say, “you get what you pay for”. Now with the Mad Professor Little Green Wonder CB, we are rethinking that statement a little, cause you get the brilliant overdrive of the Little Green Wonder in a restructured stompbox for significantly less green (couldn’t resist that one). What is the differences between the circuit board edition of the Mad Professor Little Green Wonder and the regular LGW? Here is the short version: the CB (circuit board) edition is not hand wired. Same tone, same look, but a newly designed pcb assures that these pedals are built a lot faster and for better price. The quality is the same, same parts but now pcb mounted pots, jacks and switch. Mad Professor also scaled down the packaging, so the price comes down even more. This is the same components, people. This is a rich and beautiful screamin green overdrive that harkens back to the classic overdriven tube tones. The Mad Professor Little Green Wonder CB is a low compression, high headroom overdrive with high output, and the Body knob adjusts the low-mid content and treble. OK, you’ve always wanted a Mad Professor on your board. Here is your chance. This is a high quality overdrive that delivers those classic blues and rock tones you’ve always loved.
At the end of the day, you’re concerned about tone, right? Then this is the pedal to get you that classic Mad Professor tone you crave. Of course the hand wired stompbox is still available, but for a lower cost you can step into the world of the Mad Professor Little Green Wonder and finally hear that rich and soulful tone. This is an extraordinary value that all guitarists and tone chasers should take full advantage of.
Mad Professor Little Green Wonder Overdrive CB Features:
Same parts and quality as the original Little Green Wonder

Little Green Wonder
Hand-made in Finland premium quality classic blues/rock pedal that works very well with complex ovedriven amp sound.
It's a low compression, high headroom overdrive with high output, and it has a Body knob for adjusting low-mid content and treble.
As designer Bjorn Juhl put it:
Whereas Little Green Wonder is a TS-style pedal, but one for those who don't generally like TS-style pedals.
Big difference between these two pedals would be headroom, distortion style and distortion depth and treble response, output level, function of tone knob, color, symbol....they do share a common layout of mechanical components.

Mad Professor Forest Green Compressor
FOREST GREEN COMPRESSOR (FGC) is designed to meet the highest standards of guitar and bass compression.
There is extremely low noise throughout the range and a high overload margin, which allows also a wide dynamic input range at minimum distortion and noise.
FGC is equipped with a special tone control to fine-tune the compressed sound for most transparent tone and effect.
The pedal has a switchable compressor and sustainer mode.
In Sustain mode you can get a very dynamic, touch sensitive tone with a long sustain. Here the attack is not lost, making the pedal suit-able even for blues players and works great with slide playing.
Like all Mad Professor pedals FGC is hand made in Finland using only premium compo-nents, to give years of trouble free operation with superb musical tone.
Controls
LEVEL: in Compressor mode adjusts the overal volume and the FGC can be used even as a booster. In Sustain mode the Level no longer adjusts total output but the level of the sustained part.
COMPR.: Sets the amount of compression and sustain. Lower settings give mostly peak limiting, higher settings more compression and less touch sensitive response. At maximum the output will be heavily compressed, while still retaining clarity at almost infinite sustain.
A good starting point for this control is a bit below centre (ten o’clock) with most guitars.
TONE : Tone control on FGC is designed to fine-tune the compressed sound for most transparent tone and effect: Adjust CCW for full range compression and set at noon for tighter sound with a little less bottom end and turn fully CW to slightly reduce upper treble.
COMPRESSOR/SUSTAIN SWITC.: Attack and decay times are carefully fine-tuned and internally set for swift attack and slow decay. Sustain/Compression switch set for Sustain the attack is preserved allowing dynamic touch and ease of playing as the FGC amplifies the decay and weaker parts.
For standard compression set mode switch to Compressor.

Mad Professor Snow White Auto Wah
The SNOW WHITE AUTOWAH (SWAW) circuit is based on a 1991 BJF rack mount remote wah circuit and is tuned like a real wah.
The circuit was redesigned with envelope controls and built into small size pedal.
It has very fast tracking and accuracy rarely found on auto wahs/ envelope filters. With the four knobs you can have total control of the effect.
SWAW works both with guitar and bass and you can fine-tune the pedal to suit your instru-ment, your playing style and your taste of tone.
The pedal has a unique decay control for the filter frequency fall speed. You can set it to be fast for wah effects on every note, or slower for a more traditional auto wah sound.
Like all Mad Professor pedals SWAW is hand made in Finland using only premium compo-nents, to give years of trouble free operation with superb musical tone.
Controls
SENSITIVITY: Sets the filter trigger level, tune this carefully to fit your guitar/bass output and your playing touch.
You can further change the sensitivity from your guitar volume knob while playing.
BIAS: Controls the filter resonance frequency. When Sensitivity is turned fully off the Bias can be used as a sweepable filter.
RESONANCE: Controls the sharpness or Q-factor of the filter.
DECAY: Controls how fast the filter frequency falls back to resting point (that is set with the Bias control). This can be set fast (CW) so you get the wah effect on every note or slow for a more traditional auto wah sound.
PLAYING: Please take time to get used to the controls and as this is a voltage control filter it will react to your playing touch. The envelope control circuit is carefully designed to follow the dynamics of guitar/bass and it might take some time to master the Auto Wah playing technics.
Try also adjusting guitar volume between 8 and 10 to further expand use.

Tiny Orange Phaser
Unlike most vintage phasers the Tiny Orange Phaser is especially tuned for electric guitar.
The tone is very musical and balanced thanks to carefully hand matched parts in the circuit.
With the three controls you can fine-tune the phaser effect to your taste.
Speed control sets the modulation speed and Resonance adjust the tone of the effect, making it sharper when increased.
The Mix control works in an unique way and at 12 o'clock it disables the phasing effect.
If you turn the Mix control CCW (left) you will get a deep phasing effect.
CW rotation (right) will adjust a lighter phasing effect.
The Mix control is the key for setting phaser tone from mild into deep effect.
Speed range and amplitude of the internal oscillator are set to allow high phaser speeds without getting erratic.
You can find classic phasing sounds at about 12 o'clock Speed setting, the lower settings produce a nice floating “Vibe”-type of sound.
Like all Mad Professor pedals TOP is hand made in Finland using only premium components, to give years of trouble free operation with superb musical tone.
Controls
SPEED: controls the speed of modulation
RESONANCE: sets the resonance (tone) of the effect

Mighty Red Distortion
MRD is a high-gain distortion pedal, which was modeled after the 80's style compressed gain sounds. It is extremely easy (and lot of fun) to play, because its texture is adjusted to give clarity and definition also at heavy distortion. Gain range allows also low distortion sounds as well as stacking with other pedals, where an overdrive (preferably MP LGW) can pre-drive MRD for extreme and highly focused sounds. To get these gain levels with their impressive signal to noise ratio, we didn't use any noise gate or expander. Instead, we used special amplifier techniques and extreme low noise amplifier stages, which result in a natural decay and a rather high current consumption for a distortion pedal in view of battery operation.
MRD has that 80's sound many have longed for but never got before at such low noise levels and versatility. The Presence control was designed to control the upper treble, but not to affect the upper midrange, so that you can get the exact treble you desire. You can master anything from fat warm singing distortion to screaming cutting leads with the MRD's Presence control.
Step into your spandex trousers and plug in the Mighty Red Distortion pedal !!
CONTROLS:
VOLUME: Sets the level of distorted signal
DISTORTION: Controls the amount of distortion
PRESENCE: Controls upper treble, while not affecting the upper midrange so you can adjust tones from warm and sweet into cutting leads with an attitude.
Electrical specifications:
Supply voltage range: 7,5 to 18VDC
Current consumption at 9VDC: 10,6 mA
Max gain: 62dB
Max output 1V pk-pk or 500mV rms
Signal/Noise ratio: approximately 96dB

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)
Electrical specifications Supply voltage range: 7,5 to 18VDC
Current consumption at 9VDC: 5 mA
Input inpedance: 227K TO 10kOhm's (adjustable with the Z-control)
Output impedance: 251K Ohm's
