Mad Professor Loud'n Proud

Mad Professor Loud'n Proud gives you the roaring tones of a vintage 4-input Marshall amplifier, with a footswitchable pre-boost or fuzz.

The term amp-in-a-box has been thrown around with many pedals. Mad Professor Loud'n Proud actually has an amp signal path duplicated in the pedal: a preamp, a power amp with phase inverter, push-pull stage and even an output transformer simulation. This ensures that the pedal not only sounds like an amp, but behaves like one as well.

The pedal has a vintage-correct amount of gain, but you can push it up by engaging the pre-boost, which is capable of 13 dB boost. The boost side can be switched to a vintage germanium style fuzz for that ultimate Marshall and fuzz combination.

Controls:

• Bass: Adjusts the amount of the low frequencies.
• Middle: Adjusts the amount of the mid frequencies.
• Treble: Adjusts the high frequency amplification in the preamp section.
• Gain: Adjusts the amount of distortion.
• Volume: Sets the output level.
• Presence: Adjusts the high frequency amplification in the power amp section by changing high frequency feedback.
• Fuzz vol: Sets the output level of the fuzz.
• Boost/Fuzz: Adjusts the amount of the boost or the fuzz.
• Character switch: Tighter bass and a bit compressed sound on the left and a looser bass with maximum dynamics on the right.
• Fuzz / Boost switch: Chooses between the fuzz or the boost circuits.

Specifications:

• Power requirements: 2.1 mm 9 V DC centre negative power supply or 9 V battery.
• True bypass.
