We sat down with the newly released Big Tweedy Drive from Mad Professor to give it a good testdrive. On this demo Simon plays it through his rig: Gibson 59LP with Raw Vintage pickups – Fender Strat with Raw Vintage pickups – Big Tweedy Drive – Komet 29 amp.
The Finnish company Mad Professor are makers of high-end world class amplifiers and effects. We noticed Mad Professor around 2007 and has been following the company ever since. For this demo we teamed up with guitar player and gear reviewer – Simon Gotthelf. See Simon´s demo of the Stone Grey Distortion for V&R below. You can buy the Stone Grey Distortion here

The Simble Overdrive from Mad Professor Amplification from Finland recently landed on our desk and on this clip Henrik Berger from Vintage & Rare takes it for a spin. Really not much more to say than that this pedal truly sounds great.

Nicolai from V&R on Mad Professor: “About five to six years ago I purchased an original 1981 Gibson Flying V Korina guitar from a gentleman in UK.
He told me he was selling his beloved Flying V to raise money for what he called the worlds best amplifier – the CS-40 amphead from Mad Professor Amplification.
That was the first time I came across the magnificent scandinavian boutique amp & pedals company from Finland – Mad Professor Amps.”
At that time we were taking our first babysteps with Vintage & Rare and one day I called up Harri Koski and told him about our project – V&R. We have now been working closely with Harri and his team since then and are proud to have Mad Professor onboard with us. Hope this will inspire you.
