MAD PROFESSOR - AMBER OVERDRIVE - OWNER’S MANUAL
Thank you for purchasing
Amber Overdrive!
One of the most sought after guitar tones
is a combination of a great overdrive or fuzz
pedal into overdriven tube amplifier. Amber
Overdrive produces this sound even when
running though a clean amplifier. It produces
a very thick sound whether playing chords
or single notes – fat and juicy with just a hint
of fuzz.
Though highly saturated, this dynamic
overdrive can be cleaned up with the volume
control of your guitar. As with all Mad
Professor pedals, it offers a wide range of
dynamics and expressive touch sensitivity.
When you plug it into a clean amplifier
Amber Overdrive can give you the massive
sound of a saturated amplifier running wide
open. It can also be used as a slightly dis-
torted boost to increase saturation on slightly
overdriven amplifiers.
Notice: Amber Overdrive is a medium input
impedance device that places a light load on
your guitar pickups to produce a smoother
tone. It will work best as the first pedal in the
chain. If you run a buffered pedal ahead of
Amber Overdrive you will get an increase in
treble and upper midrange.
The controls are:
• VOLUME: Sets the overall output level of
pedal.
• DRIVE: Settings from low to center will
allow you to control the saturation with
the volume control on the guitar.
To use Amber as light overdrive set this
control at the beginning of rotation.
• TONE:Turning this counterclockwise
reduces the amount of high end. If you
must run a buffered pedal ahead of Amber
Overdrive try lowering the treble.
