The Mad Honey is a touch-sensitive low gain overdrive pedal designed to give a clean sound a little pepper or to push crunch sounds. It is based on Mad Professor’s Sweet Honey Overdrive and BJFe Pedals’ Honey Bee Overdrive, which was inspired by an old Supro amp’s sound. The pedal’s magic lies in its Focus Control, which delivers a very dynamic and tube-like tone. Distortion level can be controlled by pick attack and pickup strength, with harder picking for overdrive and softer for a cleaner tone. The Focus control allows the user to adjust the feel and dynamics of the pedal as well as overall EQ. The Mad Honey has three controls: Volume, Drive, and Focus. The Volume control sets the output volume, the Drive control adjusts the amount of overdrive, and the Focus control adjusts how easily the circuit distorts as well as overall EQ. Turning the Focus control counterclockwise gives less distortion and a mellow while turning it clockwise gives a slight treble boost and earlier distortion. A good starting point is 11 o’clock.
