Mad Professor Introduces Milestone Germanium Fuzz Pedal

Mad Professor Amplification Milestone Pedal

Mad Professor Amplification has introduced the Milestone, a germanium fuzz pedal inspired by vintage mixing consoles. The company describes it as “reimagining the earliest fuzz sounds for the modern player.”

The Milestone’s fuzz circuit is dynamic and touch-sensitive, with a two-band EQ with bass and treble boost/cut controls that the company says allows it to work with bass guitar.. It’s also designed to play well with other pedals.

“Milestone features a transformer circuit allowing the pedal to be placed after buffers or other pedals without changing the character of the fuzz or losing the touch sensitivity of the effect,” Mad Professor writes. “This makes the Milestone the perfect fuzz for stacking with other pedals and opens the door for experimentation with unconventional pedal order.”

The Mad Professor Amplification Milestone is handmade in Finland. Pre-orders are open for the second batch at €330 (approx. $371 USD), with shipping expected November 2nd.
