Mad Professor Sweet Honey Overdrive
Mad Professor · pedal
The Mad Professor Snow White AutoWah GB is an envelope filter and auto-wah pedal based on a 1991 BJF rack-mount remote wah circuit, redesigned into pedal form with dedicated envelope controls. Sensitivity, Bias, Resonance, and Decay controls give precise control over the filter's trigger level, resonance frequency, sharpness, and how quickly the filter falls back to its resting point after each note. The GB version combines the original Snow White AutoWah with the Snow White Bass AutoWah into one unit that works on both guitar and bass. Its fast tracking and accuracy are notable strengths compared to typical auto-wah and envelope filter pedals.
