delay MAD PROFESSOR DEEP BLUE DELAY FT

Plugging in, we get the vintage thing right away. Inspired, we decide to run a Sun Studio-style rockabilly test. The fact that we nail the sound we’re looking for so quickly gives you an idea of how user friendly the Deep Blue Delay is. If you play rockabilly or roots-inspired rock in the vein of Creedence Clearwater Revival, you’ll love the authentic vintage warmth of this pedal. Avoiding clichés can be tough when using a delay, but the Deep Blue inspires creativity. Setting the pedal for a single repeat adds some cool ambience to high gain rhythm and lead parts that you’ll miss with the pedal switched off. Mad Professor will still make you a hand-wired version of all these pedals if you wish. The thing is, based on the quality of the sounds on offer from these lower-cost factory models, we don’t think you need to splash out all that extra lolly. We’d be surprised if many people could really hear the difference between the hand-wired and circuit board jobs anyway. Utilising a PCB construction hasn’t diluted any of the wow factor that you equate with Mad Professor pedals.” -Music Radar, March 2011″
