MACHINE HEAD PEDALS| MHP 72 DEGREES OD
 |
| $170.00 USD |
There is less than nothing new now we hit the start of the Xmas holiday
season. I decided to check on companies from years back. Some have indeed vanished but a few are still around. Likely one man outfits that the guy has a steady and probably mostly regional market that he can sell all he makes.
In the last century this was common place. Even a few classics might have only been sold in the LA area or NYC etc.
Keith Aviles is that one guy at MHP. He makes 5 dirt pedals and does mods like Josh Scott of JHS did years & years ago.
The layout is Volume, Gain and Tone.
CONCLUSION ____
This pedal came out 15 years ago. A time when all but a tiny niche were thinking to try for a Amp-in-Box like the many MIAB etc. we have now.
This pedal is pleasant sounding low to medium gain that will give you an old black faced Fender amp cranked sound. These days we would call it transparent. It is perhaps even more natural sounding than a ts or Timmy etc. That may be why it is not a 'gotta have' as it could easily pass as a guy not even using a pedal. Even a Timmy has a 'sound' it is not dead neutral like this. Very impressive understated sound.
I had the original MHP 72 degrees pedal demoed in the video. Unfortunately I wasn’t very impressed with it. Was expecting more given the guy’s knowledge on circuitry. He’s the guy that came up with the BD-2 “Galaxy” mod though I’ve never tried it.
