The Mad Professor Mighty Red high gain distortion pedal by BJF Design features the same high quality components and production that all BJF effects pedals do. Unfortunately, it also sports the same somewhat high price tag that their other pedals have, but if you’re looking for a truly great high-gain distortion pedal, you may be willing to overlook that. While one of the selling points of the Mighty Red is that it can produce some amazing higain tone first heard in the 80s, it can actually do a lot more. You can get everything from a nice medium distortion to a truly impressive, powerful meltdown—it’s quite versatile. It’s also a very quiet device. You won’t hear any unwanted noise when using it.
The Mighty Red features three controls: Volume, which is pretty self-explanatory; Distortion, which adjusts how much distortion you get; and Presence, which adjusts the upper treble to let you create some really warm, sweet sounds or a great cutting tone.
This powerful and versatile device retails for $200, which is a bit high. However, it’s great for hardcore metal and hard rock, especially if you’re looking for something that produces its own unique sound.

The Mad Professor Mighty Red Distortion Pedal is a high-gain distortion pedal, which was modeled after the 80's style compressed gain sounds. It is extremely easy (and lot of fun) to play, because its texture is adjusted to give clarity and definition also at heavy distortion. Gain range allows also low distortion sounds as well as stacking with other pedals, where an overdrive (preferably MP LGW) can pre-drive MRD for extreme and highly focused sounds. To get these gain levels with their impressive signal to noise ratio, we didn't use any noise gate or expander. Instead, we used special amplifier techniques and extreme low noise amplifier stages, which result in a natural decay and a rather high current consumption for a distortion pedal in view of battery operation.
MRD has that 80's sound many have longed for but never got before at such low noise levels and versatility. The Presence control was designed to control the upper treble, but not to affect the upper midrange, so that you can get the exact treble you desire. You can master anything from fat warm singing distortion to screaming cutting leads with the MRD's Presence control.
