Today’s pedal line is from Justin Wright. If you have a pedal line (doesn’t have to be in a board) for your rig, please email me a photo, bio, description of pedals and routing to pedallineeffectsbaycom. Every Friday I’ll showcase a pedal line submission. Make sure you include any links to your band or music page.

My name is Justin Wright. I hope you’ll accept my submission.

I’m not in a band right now, but I work for and play at a large church in Atlanta (www.evangelcc.org). My own personal style is blues rooted. We play a variety of music styles so I keep up a pretty large board to keep my options open. Here’s my line in the order I route the signal:

* Pedal Train PT-Pro Pedal BoardPedal Train PT-Pro Pedal Board *
* Crybaby Wah * – My first pedal ever, using it since high school
* DOD EQ * – I use this at the front end, mainly to scoop some mids and give me some line boost because of the long chain.
* Ernie Ball VP Jr. * – Great for swells and just muting the chain.
* TC Electronic PolyTune * (Fed from the “tuner” out on the VP Jr.)-Great tuner, lets you tune one note at a time or strum all six and see anything flat or sharp.
* Digitech Harmony Man Intelligent Pitch Shifter * – This pedal is just fun, makes tons of usable sounds from harmonies to normal octave up and down. Has to be near the front as it requires a clean signal.
* Mad Professor Sweet Honey Overdrive (PCB Version) * – This is a great natural sounding over drive. The great feature of this one is that it has a “focus” know that responds to your guitars attack. I have it dialed in so that playing soft/medium is pretty clean and digging in breaks up. Very versatile. (This pedal is fed from the Dist. Send/Return from the Harmony Man so that I can have dirty octave sounds if I want.)
* Visual Sound Route66 * – Another one of my original pedals. Combination Compressor (based on the Ross and the MXR Dyna Comp) and a Overdrive that’s a TS-808 clone with a bass boost, which I keep on. One of these effects is usually on at all times.
* ZVex Vexter Series Fuzz Factory * – I honestly don’t use this much, but it’s great to bring the noise if you need that.
* Carl Martin Classic Chorus * – This pedal has a great chorus and a switchable vibrato sound. I use both sounds some. The great part about this one is that it has a great gain circuit that gives lets me dial in that “tubes are just about to break up sound” with ease.
* Lovepedal Les Lius * – This one is supposed to sound like a Fender Tweed amp set to explode. Not so sure about that. To me this is the Keith Richards box. It just sounds like the Stones to me.
* Line6 DL4 Delay Modeler * – This is not the best sounding, most nuanced delay out there, but for ease of live use, versatility and cost it’s a winner for me. Also, it’s built like a tank.
* Visual Sound H20 Liquid Chorus * – Love this one, much less subtle of a chorus that the Carl Martin one plus it also has a great analog sounding delay that I’m currently using as an echo.
* Godlyke Power Supply + Visual Sound 1Spot Supply * – I’m using bits and pieces of both of these systems, but I find Visual Sound to be superior in all cases.

My current amp is a Fender Deluxe Reverb Reiss

Yesterday, I saw Fat Tone Guitars mention on Twitter that they have the Mad Professor Sweet Honey in, so I wanted to take a closer look! This pedal is pretty sweet on how it reacts so well to your pick attack, it’s very dynamic. It has a volume, drive and focus knob. The Focus knob is used to shape the EQ.

Below is the official description:

This super overdrive pedal is a touch sensitive low gain overdrive pedal hand made in Finland. It is designed to overdrive distorted amplifiers and give dynamically controlled light overdrive on clean sounds. Distortion level can be controlled by pick attack and pickup strength. Harder picking for overdrive and softer for cleaner tone. With the unique Focus control you can adjust the feel and dynamics of the pedal as well as overal EQ. Turning Focus CCW you need to play harder to get distortion and the tone is softer, great for jazz and blue. Focus turned CW gives a slight treble boost and earlier distortion. This type of overdrive has previously only been found in the BJF Honey Bee but is now presented in Mad Professor version.

The Mad Professor SHOD has a tighter sound and is more versatile as it was designed to work with all kinds of guitars and amplifiers. Like all Mad Professor pedals, SHOD is hand made in Finland using only premium components, to give years of trouble free operation with superb musical tone.

Here is a good demo by ProGuitarShopDemos on the Mad Professor Sweet Honey Overdrive:

The pedal is well build (handmade in Finland) so with quaility comes with a price. You can currently pick up the Mad Professor Sweet Honey overdrive pedal up at Fat Tone Guitars for $312.
