BJFE= or ≠Mad Professor ？？？？？

Sometimes Mad Professor pedals start out as BJFe pedals. Once the circuit goes through some changes and people give in feedback, it ends up being transferred into the MP line. That was the case for the MP LGW and the upcoming MP Ruby Red Booster.

Does anyone know when the MP Ruby Red Booster is going to be released? This one sounds interesting.

I'd bet we'll be hearing from the master himself shortly on this one though no one really knows when. From his last post though it sounded as though they may be just working out the production. Then you should be able to order it from custom-sounds directly. Other vendors are probably going to get it much later on

Mad Professor's page says "this summer" for these new pedals.. thats the most I've seen published.

Ruby Red Booster
Blueberry Bass Overdrive
Snow White AutoWah (bass version)

Harri likes to launch things around NAMM , so post Summer NAMM would be a good bet for roll out.

As has already been stated, these are two very different ODs. I find the either/or comparison almost pointless. Not only are they tonally different in a big way, the responsiveness and 3rd knob function is significantly different. Different, not better or worse.

I own both, use one or the other depending on the particular music I'm playing and the other gear I've chosen for a particular gig. I find myself going to the SHOD more often then the HB, but only because I find it a bit more versatile for the stuff I happen to be currently playing.

Here is a comparative demo posted a while back http://www.bjfe.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1874. And here is an audio comparison (with some tasty licks) on Huckleboogie's soundclick page (MP Prototype is the SHOD) http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=920019&content=music

Like all of Bjorn's creations, these two fully reveal themselves only after you've put in some time with them. The interaction of the controls and response to playing dynamics is complex. These truly are tools for musicians.

Buy them both

Yeah, definitely +1 on this Strato...I actually "hear" the SHOD more as an amazing POWER amp overdrive/distortion pedal, and talk about NAILING authentic AC/DC tones...it's got it in spades.
HBOD I agree, COMPLETELY different animal which I love for completely different reasons.

[Donner]

well the SH and the HB do meet at one spot - but then cover different ground from there ....

and they sound alot more alike thru greenbacks ....

they can have a simlar EQ and distortion at some points but the dynamics and feel are the biggest difference to me...

Yes, should have specified...that's what I meant...dynamics and feel, 'nuff said....course, they are related because the "Bee likes it honey sweet"
