The Mad Professor Super Black is a vintage Blackface Fender amp in a box with a boost. It replicates the entire amp signal path, allowing users to easily turn their amplifiers into vintage '60s Fender glory. The pedal can also be plugged into the return jack of an amp's FX loop to bypass the preamp and achieve the sound of a full Blackface amp signal path without the color of the amp's preamp.

The Super Black is a versatile pedal that delivers the punchy, mid-scooped, and sparkling chimey clean tone that Fender Blackface amplifiers are known for. It also produces beautiful and amp-like breakup tones, making it easy to achieve the iconic Fender sound at any volume while retaining full clarity.
