The Jackson Audio ASABI is a signature overdrive and distortion pedal created in collaboration with Brazilian guitarist Mateus Asato, designed to deliver the warm, singing, harmonically complex drive character that defines Asato's RnB-influenced lead playing style. The ASABI provides gain voicing suited to Asato's approach: smooth and harmonically rich rather than aggressive or compressed, retaining the guitar's natural character while adding musical saturation. The pedal reflects Asato's specific tonal requirements for lead playing across RnB, pop, and modern instrumental guitar contexts.
The Mad Professor Mighty Red Distortion is a premium boutique distortion pedal from Mad Professor delivering powerful, harmonically rich distortion with the natural, organic character and touch sensitivity that defines the Finnish brand's design philosophy. The Mighty Red provides substantial gain and aggressive saturation while retaining the expressive dynamic response that distinguishes Mad Professor's designs from less musical high-gain distortions.
