The Mad Professor Super Black Mini brings the legendary sound and feel of 1960s American Black Panel amplifiers to your pedalboard in a compact, all-analog design.

Recreating the entire signal path of a classic Black Panel amplifier, the Super Black Mini delivers sparkling cleans, punchy response and rich, dynamic breakup without the excessive volume of a cranked vintage amp.

With increased headroom and an intuitive control layout, the Super Black Mini captures everything from pristine clean tones to expressive, touch-sensitive overdrive.

Classic Black Panel Sound

The Super Black Mini captures the unmistakable response of vintage American Black Panel amplifiers, delivering articulate highs, tight lows and a beautifully responsive midrange.

Its expanded headroom allows for clear, punchy clean tones, while increasing the Gain introduces the natural compression and harmonic richness of an amplifier being pushed into breakup.

Flexible Tone Shaping

The comprehensive control layout provides detailed adjustment of the pedal's amplifier-style response.

  • Presence: Adjusts high frequencies at the output stage.
  • Volume: Controls the overall output level.
  • Gain: Adjusts the amount of distortion and breakup.
  • Bass: Controls low-frequency response.
  • Middle: Adjusts midrange frequencies in the preamp section.
  • Treble: Adjusts high frequencies in the preamp section.
  • Cut Switch: Selects between full bass response and slightly reduced low bass.
  • Comp Switch: Selects between maximum dynamics with less compression and a more compressed response.

Three Ways to Use the Super Black Mini

Into Your Amplifier: Use the Super Black Mini as a tone-shaping pedal to introduce classic Black Panel character to your existing amplifier.

Into an FX Return: Bypass your amplifier's preamp and use the Super Black Mini as your primary preamp.

With a Cabinet IR: Pair it with a suitable cabinet impulse response system for direct recording or amplification.
