Mad Professor Mighty Red Distortion Pedal

[Vanessamuzic]

Would it be a good distortion if I use an American Standard Telecaster and a Gibson Explorer with a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe? Thanks!

[Alkinoos7]

Hey, I got a question about distortion pedals: I seek a pedal that can provide sufficient distortion for stuff like Metallica, Dream Theater, Pantera and Megadeth. My gear is a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR and a Marshall MG50FX. Could you give me some advice? Thanks in advance!

[inhuman96]

HiT the lights!!!!

[seasybabeeee89]

hihi bin total Bussi bedürftig aber niemand da ;(

[SweetAlphaSlumbers]

Hey,

I really like the sound of this pedal and was wondering if you can recommend something similar that's not as pricey. I'm looking for a nice rock distortion, not too metal yet still with that punch but also less treble. Of course considering the limitations of my set-up. Anything around similar this pedal?

@SweetAlphaSlumbers Mighty Red Distortion CB

[zundap100]

Fantastic as allways by Mad Professor or BJF. I love my MP MRDs and now i have two of them.

[tyl0r900]

It's been a while but I have a similar question! I am looking for a good distortion to replace my Boss DS-1 (not interested in modding it either). Have a good fuzz but need a distortion for smooth hi gain liquidy leads and articulate runs like vai and satch and that crowd but less skilled. strat with duncan hot rails & a les paul with pretty hot pickups (PRS tremonti) into Randall RT30 amp that is a little bit obscure (a 30 watt class A 2x12 celestion vintage 30s).

Any tips?

[wezq41888]

Thanks Andy, your stuff is very helpful to make up my mind what gear to go after for!

[Zoltan1379]

Andy you Rock!!!

[Runelaier]

This or the Rat? I already have the Frantone Fuzz and the MXR gt-od, and i dont want to get more than 3 overdrive/distortion pedals.

[MrSlowSkyline]

@xraycatt097 hey at least they started with metallica :P

[askwho69]

@xraycatt097 He played metallica Hit the lights right?

[dpounder101]

@xraycatt097 ummm. he played hit the lights by metallica. that would be metal.

[Tragedyinagraveyard]

is that song at the beginning hit the lights?

[rhythm013]

I like metal, classic rock, and kind of a spacey rock sound. So, I'm planing on purchasing a Hiwatt amp because I use alot of pedals and I'm looking for kind of a... hit you in the chest type of distortion pedal. any suggestions?

[rhythm013]

@xraycatt097 amen.

[1984kevingriffin]

Hit the lie-i-i-i-eee-ights!!!

[Jjjj187]

ok so i got a epiphone les paul custom and im playing through a fender frontman 212r. id like a distortion pedal with good tone. one that isn't too fuzzy or heavy. which one would be a good one for me. i was thinkin the ocd fulltone. any suggestions?

[mikegnar2]

@xraycatt097 any tool can turn the mids off, lows and highs up and drop D chug..metal is gay....vids are perfect for displaying CLEARITY in this pedal...not how much you can ruin a sound

[dorielementary]

@xraycatt097 The guys who are into classic rock are usually older and have more money to spend.

[someonewithguitar]

just got this one!

[TheCrystalyne]

Cost of living and therefore labour in the Scandinavian countries is expensive....

[nylonsteel]

$400 for this pedal.. Lol!

[PaulBarte]

Just what the world needs, a $340 dollar cock-rock pedal.

[ACmetalfaceDC]

Hit the lights off of kill em all=metal?

[BulletFrenzy543]

When we start to rock! wwe neva!! STOP AGAIN!! HIT THE LIGHTS! lol

[locoed11]

Bo Didley playin hit da lights honky

[someonewithguitar]

well...this pedal is more for classic rock

[evolwing]

but who doesn't love classic rock

[aaronweits]

oh boy, Metallica. ;)

[SlaughterSwitchBlade]

sounds fizzy

[Wiggzzzz]

hit the lights??? didnt expect that one

[popomczowzow]

That costs too much, I'll take something like a wampler plextortion over this any day

[Jaredrock1996]

cost wayyyy to much

[1280x820]

And why it costs? It's handmade in Finland.

[cunjoz]

He rocks this like a hurricane...

[100roberthenry]

good ol j201's.....wheyyyyyyy.........­.

[ilovemyfender1]

Icky Thump at 4:21! Yes!

[sweworship]

Wow...

[Loud0glbc]

how would this sound through a jc 120?

[Hestjaevel111]

probably awesome

[flamelance50166]

HIT THE LIGHTS!

[gluv1]

YEYAH HIT THE LIGHTS!!!

[fenderbender28]

i prefer this over the crunch box, A LOT more transparent.

[amarr1]

I prefer 130 over 340. A LOT cheaper

[chuenx]

great tone!!! having mine on the way...

[scribbydibbydoo]

good early rush tone

[chakolo]

i like this tone, really gives the vintage classic rock sound.

how much it cost in US$?

[hendrixzeppelin123]

like 300.12 or sumthin around there

[retainerbrite2]

i have a really shitty little beginners combo amp, and i can't really afford a better amp, but can afford a distortion pedal. is it a good idea to get one?

[drSwan77]

Maybe you can afford a less shitty amp for the same money this pedal goes for. On the other hand... a good distorsion pedal comes very handy...

[granola4thahighrolla]

you could get a little roland jc for the same price. that's be all you need.

[JIMMYJIBLETS]

that thing sounds absolutely nowhere near as good as this.

quality and tone comes before price imo.

[cioubichs]

HIT THE LIGHTS!

[KRATOSLAYERKNOTDRILL]

na line 6 uber metal distortion pedal owns!

[benc1891]

youre retarted.

[dimlightbulb10]

diggin that metallica at the beginning

[alextsionas]

Hi guys

I am palying with a Les paul and a 65 soho.I am searcing for a distortion pedal or a boost pedal.Any ideas?

[javiceres]

I love Barber's Small Fry

I play with an LP and an Ampeg J-20 (6V6 GT´s power stage)

[IJAmusicman]

Which of these distortions are the best: Mad Professor Mighty Red Distortion, Vox satchurator, MI audio crunch box,marshall guvnor, or the dunlop mxr distorton III?

I am looking to get a good distortion, but with not so much low end. Also, I wanted something high gain, without sounding harsh or gritty. Also, I wanted the pedal to be affordable.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

The best way to get an honest answer is to include your guitar and amp setup :)

[IJAmusicman]

My amp is a fender champion 300 with a gibson sg special.

[aektzis91]

@ProGuitarShopDemos i run a les paul into an EL84-loaded orange ad30. which of these pedals would sound the best? :)

[BekkersBelly]

@ProGuitarShopDemos Ok, I got a Les Paul and a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 2x12... and I can't decide between a Mad Professor Mighty Red, a MI Audio Crunch Box or an OCD...

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@BekkersBelly The Mighty red is pretty Marshall-y and compressed. The Crunch Box has a heavy emphasis on mids, which would suit you if you're into classic rock. The OCD is a little rattier like an 18 watt Marshall but can also be used as a clean boost. Honestly, the best way to decide is to try them all with your rig. We have a 60 day return policy for this exact reason. Good luck,

PGS

[ilovemyfender1]

This pedal is NOT affordable, but is wxactly what you described your ideal distortion to be. Crunch Box is pretty bass heavy. Guvnor is bass heavy too. Satchurator is pretty bright, too bright for my taste. Distortion III has a neutral EQ but isn't very high gain. I would say check out a Hipkitty Oxblood. $140 and is quite bright if you ask me.

[Taygoo15]

@IJAmusicman Vox or Mi audio

[BkkCheesepie]

@IJAmusicman Dirty Bomb bro

[david5173red]

@IJAmusicman just go for the SHUR RIOT distortion pedal rock on

[kostasa13]

what's the best distortion ever????for artists like gary moore,satriani,buckethead...? and sounds good on Ginson Les Paul??

[SecondHandStudios]

I don't know about the best, but for the music you play I would look at the Vox "Satchurator". Its satriani's signature pedal, so you've got his sound, and it is also very versatile.

[kylelaffin]

is this a good distortion for modern day rock? does it have LOTS of gain?

[sumuglyman]

On it's own it's quite vintage sounding, maybe if you put it through an already overdriven channel.

[kylelaffin]

Im looking for a HIGH gained destortion pedal.. wanna play 90's rock.. as in like high satriated gain..smooth and compressed..but it has to have quite a bit of gain.. I think this will do it but on the site it says it should be stacked with a OD pedal to get large amount of gain this scares me.. will this have enough gain on its own to play say 90s foo fighters and greenday and other high gained sounds that arnt really OD sounds?

[Nuhunte15]

dude the jekyll and hyde is your pedal then

[guns1rose]

no way dude.  get the satchurator. that thing is smooth a super satchurated

[Weismann]

Nice Metallica!!!

[Ubernaut]

Hit the Lights is my favorite song by them. I lit up when I heard it. =]

[FootyBrain]

What's the biggest difference between this and the crunch box?

[shitastic31]

this is what i've been looking for...i cried when i saw the price >.>

any pedals similar to this?

[TheCakeGuru]

MI audio crunch box distortion pedal

about 122$

[davyjonesno1]

hit the lights.. nice touch.. nice vid man...

[Beetaminman]

this is so sweet but its too expensive!

[metalrules247]

we should have more reviewers like this guy..hit the lights in the beginning and then rock you like a hurricane! awesome :D

[rodie1994]

and icky thump in there too...

[frogslegsonfire]

hes playing hit the lights it sounds good on this kind of distortion i like it

[benfirst]

Anything guitar related is overpriced. Even picks and strings. Those Bastards!

[BballFanatic1]

Picks rnt, they're just lost so easily :-(

[tragictravisty]

great pedal, WAY overpriced.

[HelloImJonesy1]

Not my kinda tone :/ I prefer the OCD :D

[Anfon]

Hey! that's hit the lights by metallica

[zaxio1234]

could you demo this with a strat? (or any similar guitar)

your demos are great.

[eur650]

does anybody know what "analogue signal path" is?

[bognerSH]

It means there is no digital elements between the input and the output of the pedal.

It is a big difference cause the oposite - part of the signal path is digital - means you have to convert it from analogue form to digital, then again from digital to analog to get it back to your amp, and it loses much of the signal because of the conversion. It is just like listening to the CD on the hi-fi amp and speakers versus connecting mp3 player to your hi-fi amp and speakers ;-) Take care

[rockislife999]

This is a really good feature. It is a little know fact that boss are really bad for signal disintergration through their bypass. For example the boss pedal tuners (which are generally on bypass but in your rig all the time) take around 17% of your guitar signal. Stick a few more boss pedals in and you are not left with much.

[utpowderskir]

the scorpians! that sounds exactly like them

[hipjiverobot]

Congratulations on working a White Stripes riff in there.

[downwithdixie]

Nice! Sounds like a JCM800!

[planetgroucho]

HIT THE LIGHTS!

[Relayer1968]

wow - sounds just like a JCM or late 70s marshall 100 watt head!!

[kendorage]

to PGS, how does this compare to the RAT2 and what are the similarities and differences?

[stasxamoral]

Awesome! Will u demo MP LITTLE GREEN WONDER and FIRE RED FUZZ?

Thanks PGS!!!!

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

Hi,

We will demo both pedals when we get them in stock.

[jl751677]
