The Mad Professor Sweet Honey Overdrive Deluxe pedal is a touch sensitive, medium gain amplifier-like overdrive pedal with added controls for more versatile guitar tone. The Deluxe is designed to overdrive distorted amplifiers and give dynamically controlled low to medium gain tones with clean amplifiers. It features unique focus control that allows you to adjust the feel and dynamics of the pedal as well as the overall EQ: turning counter-clockwise gives less distortion and a smoother effect, whilst turning clockwise gives a slight treble boost and earlier distortion. The distortion levels are controlled by the pick - the harder you pick, the more overdrive you get, but play more gently and you get a cleaner, softer tone.

Both the SHOD and SHOD DLX are designed to work with all kinds of guitars, amplifiers and pedals. With the dials, you can set the output volume, control the amount of overdrive, post distortion that cuts and/or boosts the treble, and the pre-distortion also sets how the bass and low-to-mid-tones are distorted. The Sweet Honey Overdrive Deluxe isn’t the cheapest, but what you get is a solid, funky orange pedal with retro style knobs that produces some kick-ass tones. The touch-sensitive picking is a lot of fun to play with – it doesn’t make your guitar scream in pain, but instead produces a sweet, rounded tone. It has been carefully engineered to make your guitar sound great, all wrapped up in a compact design that will never leave your pedal board. RRP €219
